Ingredients
- 1 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 30 oz pinto beans canned and not drained (800g)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon cayenne chilli powder (optional, or more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pan over a med/low heat, then add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until it just starts to turn golden (careful, it will quickly burn).
- Stir in the beans (and the liquid from 1 of the cans), cumin, cayenne and salt and heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Mash the beans with a potato masher, fork or with an immersion blender, but don’t puree it completely - keep a bit of texture.
- If the refried beans are a bit soupy, they will thicken up as they cool, or you can simmer them again to evaporate some moisture.
Notes
- Don't drain out the canning liquid in the beans as it helps make the refried beans nice and creamy.
- Make sure not to overcook the garlic as it will quickly burn if it's left on the heat for too long.
- If the refried beans are a bit soupy, they will thicken as they cool, or you can simmer them again to evaporate any excess moisture.
- Once the beans are warmed through, taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary.
