You can use both pinto and black beans. But, I like to use pinto beans because these are the best beans for making refried beans. They are super creamy and almost buttery in flavor.
If you want to spice up your beans, you can add finely chopped jalapeno peppers along with your onions and garlic.
You can also add a tablespoon or two of diced green chilies.
White onion or yellow onion both will work.
You can use 2 tablespoons of butter instead of olive oil.
