For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the onion and garlic while sautéing. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the refried bean mixture with an immersion blender before adding the cream cheese. This dish can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving. Assemble in the pie plate, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add a few minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

Transform ordinary refried beans into a decadent, cheesy, and subtly spicy side that will elevate your taco night. The cream cheese adds a tangy creaminess that perfectly complements the sharp cheddar and kick of the spices.
