RECIPE BY Southern Living

A sprinkle of queso fresco, a fresh white Mexican cheese, adds traditional flavor to this quick side dish. You can buy it at your local supercenter or Hispanic market.

Ingredients

  • 1 14 1/2-ounce can stewed Mexican-style tomatoes
  • 1 31-ounce can refried beans
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • cilantro sprigs

How to Make It

Stir together 1 (14 1/2-oz.) can stewed Mexican-style tomatoes, undrained; 1 (31-oz.) can refried beans; 1 tsp. chili powder; and 1/2 tsp. cumin. Place bean mixture into a lightly greased 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with 1 cup (4 oz.) crumbled queso fresco. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, if desired.

Why would I look up a recipe for refried beans if I had a can of refried beans?

It doesn't get much easier than this. I used a 4-cheese Mexican blend in lieu of the queso fresco because that's what my husband came home with, but it turned out great. I now have my go-to recipe for refried beans!

SO delicious and easy to throw together. Topped with a mixture of queso fresco and cotija cheese and served with veggie chicken enchiladas. Awesome side dish, and great with chips the next day!

I doubled the recipe for guests except I did not double the tomatoes-just used one can. I also used Monterey Jack cheese because it is cheaper than queso. Very good and will make again.
