Honduran Frijoles Refritos
Honduran Frijoles Refritos
Frijoles refritos is a typical Honduran side dish. They use kidney beans, and sometimes black beans, for their frijoles refritos, as opposed to pinto beans used in Mexican-style. You can definitely use dried beans, but they will take a significant amount of time to soak and cook. In this instance, canned beans work great and allow these frijoles to be ready in 20 minutes.
