Refried Beans

These Refried Black Beans make the perfect side dish!

Saute onions

01

Add olive oil to a  saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add in onions and saute until tender 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and saute for an additional minute.

Add spices

02

Stir in the spices: cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and chili powder and cook for one minute. Keep an eye on them and continuously stir so they do not burn.

Add beans & broth

03

Add in beans and chicken broth and turn the heat down to low. Simmer until the mixture has thickened a bit, 5-10 minutes.

Assemble

04

Mash the beans with the back of your spatula or with a potato masher. Make sure to leave some of the beans whole to keep a chunky texture.

Serve them as they are or top with cilantro, raw onions, sour cream, or queso fresco!
