Having been raised in Texas with Hispanic relatives, here is the very best way to get those REAL refries.
Simply buy a can of pinto beans, (for my family, I get a large one from Walmart)- and in a very large skillet put a bit of oil - and get it hot. Then pour the can of beans in, juice and all. Allow to get pretty hot and WITH A FORK, mash the beans but not all of them. Leave some whole ones, according to your taste. It will be pretty runny but that's ok. After that, put a bunch of shredded or grated cheddar cheese and allow to melt - then put in a large bowl and serve. Should be pretty runny. The trick is to keep it pretty runny and use a fork to mash.
