  • Hi guys! Welcome back to my channel. My name is Airam pronounced like “Eye-rum.”
    Today’s video has been highly requested & is most definitely a Mexican household staple & overall a vegan staple! Beans in general are one of my favorite things to eat. Refried beans can be used in SO many different dishes, as a side or a main meal. Some examples would be enfrijoladas, in burritos, on nachos & so much more! I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

    I'm a classically trained chef, have worked in many restaurants, grow my own food (still), and grew up in Los Angeles preparing Mexican food primarily. I can say with certainty, after watching many of your videos, that your technique is spot on, your information is superbly correct, your culinary style is incredibly historical and accurate, and your narration is fabulous and easy-to-listen to. Seriously one of the top cooking channels on UA-cam!!! You could go far, if you wanted to. Kudos.

    My family adds a chile ancho paste (rehydrate deseeded drying ancho chiles, blend them with a little bit of water). It adds a lot of depth and really gives it a more appealing color.

    Just discovered your channel & can’t wait to try your recipes! I’m Mexican too & have been on my Vegan journey for 2+ years…I’m curious if you’ve ever made beans in an Instant Pot? They typically take me about 60 minutes or so, from start to finish & I don’t even soak the beans over night. I can’t wait to make your refried beans next time! Thanks for all you do to help us learn how to Vegan-ize traditional Mexican recipes! ☮️❤️🌮

    • @airamcooks
      @airamcooks  3 роки тому +1

      My biggest tip is that they need to be cooked until tender! ❤️ So they are mashable & puree easily you know? How wet you want them depends on you. You need to add as much as the water from the beans to your desired texture when mashing! I hope this helps 🥲❤️❤️
