Instructions

  1. Flavor Base: Heat 2 Tbsp coconut oil in a saute pan over medium heat. Add ½ medium white onion (diced) and cook until soft, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp each cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp cayenne pepper. Continue cooking for a minute, until garlic is fragrant.
  2. Beans: Add 2 15-oz cans pinto beans and 1 cup water. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Mash: Using a potato masher or fork, roughly mash the beans. They will continue to thicken once cooled, but if they're too runny for your preference, continue cooking for a few minutes, uncovered, to thicken.
  4. Serve: Stir in 1 Tbsp lime juice and serve warm!
