Jen's Refried Beans and Enchilada Filler

So, in an effort to eat more beans around our house and less meat for every meal, I put together these super yummy beans!

Refried Beans

2 cups pinto beans
1 cup kidney beans (can use more pinto beans)
1 cup Quinoa (optional)
1/2 c up to 1 c. Water ( depends on how thick you want your beans
1 onion
3 garlic cloves
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
1-2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime No salt seasoning (optional)
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil (or another oil you can cook at high heat, I get my grapeseed oil at smiths)

Heat oil and cook onion and garlic until slightly brown, add a little water and all spices and cook for a few minutes. In a food processor, combine onion/garlic/spice mixture, as well as beans, quinoa and 1/2 cup water. Mix in processor until creamy, add water, if needed to desired consistency.

This recipe makes the BEST enchilada filler or burrito filler!
