Instant Refried Bean Powder
contributed by chilipalmer
Actually, I think this fails as an instant powder. Doesn't taste right at all. I use it as bean flour, for thickening and flavor in all sorts of soups, bean dishes, etc.
Bean Flour
3 c. dried pintos
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
In a blender, grinder or food processor process beans a little at a time until they are all ground to a flour-like consistency. Mix in spices thoroughly. Store in a glass jar, keeps well on the shelf. I've had mine for a year with no loss of flavor.
