Your refried beans must be creamy. To achieve that, cook them until they are 'very soft' before mashing them. 'You need the beans to be creamy and just a few whole for that texture many love in refried beans,' Linares explained.
If you use dried pinto beans to make refried beans, soak them in water and cook over the stovetop until softened, or opt for canned beans to reduce cooking time. Pressure cooker can cut cooking time to about 45 minutes.
Mix in sour cream to make refried beans smooth and creamy, both for homemade and canned versions. Sour cream not only enhances smoothness but also adds richness to the dish.
