Easy Refried Beans
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
Instructions
1
Collect all the necessary ingredients before commencing with the recipe.
2
Preheat a substantial skillet over medium heat, utilizing canola oil as the primary lubricant.
3
Place minced garlic cloves into the hot skillet and gently rotate them once, allowing them to develop a rich brown color on both sides. This process should take approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
4
Utilize a fork to crush the garlic cloves, thereby releasing their flavors and intensifying their aroma within the skillet.
5
Combine pinto beans, cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt with the mashed garlic in the skillet. Stir the mixture occasionally as it cooks until the beans have reached a thoroughly heated state, taking around 5 minutes to achieve.
6
Employ a potato masher to crush the bean mixture into your desired consistency.
7
Squeeze a generous amount of fresh lime juice over the smashed beans and stir until they are fully incorporated.
8
Serve and indulge in your delicious creation!
