Easy Refried Black Beans
Description
This recipe begins by heating avocado or a similar vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Chopped purple onions, minced jalapeño, and garlic are sautéed until tender. Half of the black beans, drained and rinsed but with some liquid reserved, are added to the skillet and mashed slightly to create a chunky texture. The remaining beans, lime zest, cumin, chili powder, and ground coriander are stirred in, and the mixture is heated on low for about 15 minutes until warmed through.
The cooking method results in refried beans with a combination of creamy and chunky texture, enhanced with a balance of warm spices and a fresh citrus note from lime zest and juice added at the end. This prepares a flavorful homemade version of refried beans that can be served as a side or ingredient in other dishes.
The beans are finished with fresh lime juice before serving to add brightness. Since no additional notes are provided, it is assumed best served warm and consumed shortly after preparation.
