Ingredients
  

  • 1 can pinto beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 small onion chopped
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 tbsp lime juice

Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan heat the olive oil and add the onions. Cook until they have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the drained beans and 2 tbsp of water. Stir, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and remove the lid from the saucepan. Mash the beans with a potato masher or the back of a fork until you reach your desired consistency. Cook the beans for 3 more minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Season with the sea salt and add a splash of water if the beans seem too dry. Your refried beans are ready to serve!
