Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow or white onion (about 1/2 small onion)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained, or 3 cups cooked pinto beans
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1/2 medium lime), to taste

Steps:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained beans and 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 up about at least half of the beans, until you reach your desired consistency. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, stirring often, for 3 more minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice if necessary. If the beans seem dry, add a very small splash of water and stir to combine. Cover until you're ready to serve.

Rush Hour Refried Beans image

I love refried beans but don't always have the time to work with dried beans. This recipe uses canned beans and still tastes like I spent all day on it. Sometimes I crumble bacon on top of the finished product.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 garlic cloves
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, drained, reserving 1/4 cup of liquid (black beans also work well)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder (less for a lower heat-tolerance)
1/2 lime

Steps:

Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
Add whole garlic cloves and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes.
Smash garlic cloves with a fork just enough to break them open and flatten them a little.
Add pintos and liquid and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Add spices and salt to taste. Stir well.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and smash beans with a big fork. You don't have to smash every single bean. Leave some whole for texture.
When mashed to your liking, squeeze the lime juice all over the beans and serve warm.
These beans make a great taco filling or tostada topping. My husband likes them mixed with a little salsa and eaten as a dip.
