Summary: I know that refried beans seem like something you wouldn’t bother to make but OMG these are good. No, really, really good. Imagine how good nachos with these beans, this salsa and this nacho cheese sauce would be. The idea makes me want to run down to the supermarket for corn chips! I know that black beans can be hard to find in Australia and pinto beans are traditional but kidney, navy or cannellini are fine choices too.
EDIT: You can buy black beans online here, they deliver Australia wide xxx
