JAZZ IT UP! Refried Beans

Some people don't like refried beans.  They think they're bland and tasteless.  Well, that can be true.  But, it doesn't have to be!  Using simple ingredients, you can jazz up a regular old can of refried beans and make them taste like restaurant quality!  Trust me, once you've tasted these jazzed up beans, you'll never think refried beans are tasteless again!

Ingredients:

- 1 can refried beans
- Fresh jalapenos, finely diced.  (I used 3 small ones from my mother's garden)
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- Shredded cheese of your choice

Directions:

1.  Open up your can of refried beans.  Tonight I used the kind with Chorizo in it, but you can use whatever type or brand of your choice.  Toss 'em in a pan.

2.  Dice up your veggies and toss them into the pan with the beans.  Stir them up and set them on the stove over medium heat.  Stir often.

3.  You'll know the beans are warmed through enough when it's soupier than when you started.  At this point, remove them from the heat and add two handfuls of cheese.  Stir that in until melted.

Here's the final product.....

I served mine with a sprinkling of cheese on top and alongside chicken fajitas.  So creamy and flavorful!  You can use this as a side dish as I did, or it's perfect as a dip!  Make this jazzed up recipe tonight and you will not be sorry!  Enjoy!
