This is just stupid-good and almost as easy as popping the top on a can (never mind that it makes 2-3 cans; worth!). I've used refried beans, canned pintos, soaked/cooked/pressure canned beans, both pinto and black. My biggest change is I actually have come to prefer using a fresh jalapeno or serrano, from the garden. I've even used a small poblano. I LOVE the tang of the Fritos brand but I almost never buy pickled jalapenos. However, I DO buy banana peppers in the jar, as well as hot giardienara, so I usually dip a Tablespoon into THOSE liquids for that tang! I LOVE that it's easy to double, and easy to adjust heat! All day long, favorite dip with corn chips/tortilla chips!!! THANK YOU for this little life hack!! ~Chrissie

I pressure can this recipe, using 2/3 cup dry pinto beans, all the other ingredients, then fill the remaining space in the pint jar with water (leaving a half inch head space), on a regular basis. My sister calls them ‘flavored beans’. If you want a dip, you just dump the beans in a blender, otherwise, you can use them in other ways.

We have used your recipe for years. Whenever we have a family get together We always make sure to bring a bowl (or two). Better than Fritos brand because it's cheaper and we can tweak it to match our tastes. A little more heat or a little less of something else.

I was at the store and realized I didnt want to spend the money. Thank goodness for google. I love it!

Made just like recipe says, only added 2nd tablespoon of jalapeño juice. Way good. Thank you!

It was good. But just like many others said---it was just too salty. Easy fix on that! Just leave it out or add only a dash. :-) Next time I am going to try to make it with Black Beans like their black bean variety. Thanks!

I left out the salt, used 16oz can of fat free re-fried beans and added 1 tsp of Cains chili powder. It should be refrigerated overnight for the flavors to meld together.

Came out awesome!

This recipe is fantastic! My Hubby was hooked on the Fritos bean dip in the can, but this is way more economical, and he thinks it tastes exactly the same. When you make Todd's recipes, be sure you are using quality fresh spices and such, it makes a huge difference. And also, the corn of the Fritos and the beans make a complete protein, great for a lunch too.

I really like this recipe, but I added some taco seasoning and it made it better...

Made this a second time, this time according to recipe. It is almost dead on with the real thing. I would cut down on the salt because the peppers, liquid, and beans already have enough added salt. After that, it is just a matter of tweaking the spices to get the tast right.
