Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Beans
Rinse the pinto beans under cold water and remove any debris. Place the beans in a large pot and cover with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
2. Sauté the Aromatics
In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
3. Mash the Beans
Once the beans are cooked, drain them and reserve some of the cooking liquid. Add the beans to the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the beans to your desired consistency. If the mixture is too thick, add some reserved cooking liquid.
4. Season the Beans
Stir in the cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Adjust seasoning to taste.
5. Serve
Serve the refried beans warm as a side dish or as a filling for tacos, burritos, or nachos.
