For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika along with the chili powder. If you prefer a smoother consistency, use an immersion blender to puree the beans after mashing. These refried beans can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Want to make it vegetarian/vegan friendly? Ensure your oil is plant-based, like canola or olive oil.
