Ingredients
- 2 cans pinto beans (15 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup finely chopped onion
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cloves garlic pressed or minced
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice about ½ medium lime, to taste
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan set to medium heat, warm the olive oil until it shimmers. Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-8 minutes until the onions have softened and are turning translucent.
- Add the garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the drained beans and the water. Stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and remove the lid. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash at least half of the beans until they reach the desired consistency. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, and stirring often for about 3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice if needed. If the beans are dry, add a very small amount of water and stir to combine. Cover until ready to serve.
