Refried Beans – Fixing Canned

It takes a long time to make refried beans for a huge group. We decided to buy #10 cans (7 lbs.) of La Preferida refried beans at the restaurant supply. They we pretty bland. If you add the following ingredients to a #10 can, they become decent.

INGREDIENTS TO FIX A #10 (7lb) CAN:

  • 4 teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 3.66 Tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 4 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

Bulk Mix for #10 cans.

I don’t recommend mixing the dry and the liquids ahead of time because they will just stick to the container.

If you need to prepare the ingredients in bulk:

  • The dry mix would equal 2 Tablespoons per #10 can.
  • The wet ingredients would be 5 Tablespoons per can.

We also used this on a smaller, 32 oz. can and we liked it.

INGREDIENTS TO FIX A 32 oz. can:

  • 1 teaspoons Cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
