Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced (approximately ½ cup)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ medium lime, juiced (approximately 1 tablespoon)
  • cilantro, for garnish
  • tomato, for garnish
  • cheese, like cotija, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium heat, add oil. When oil is sizzling, add onion. Cook until very soft (8-10 minutes).
  2. Add garlic and cook 30 more seconds.
  3. Add beans, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Stir to combine and continue to cook until heated through (about 5-7 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash the beans for 8-10 minutes, or until the beans reach your desired consistency. Keeping the heat on low will help evaporate the liquid.
  5. Add lime juice and stir until combined.
  6. Garnish with cilantro, tomatoes, and cotija cheese. Serve warm with chips or as a side!
