Black Refried Bean Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the canned black beans under cold water and drain them well.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

3. 3

   Add Garlic and Spices

   Stir in the minced garlic, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

4. 4

   Incorporate Black Beans

   Add the rinsed black beans to the skillet. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash the beans to your desired consistency, leaving some whole for texture.

5. 5

   Cook the Mixture

   Continue to cook the mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the mixture seems too thick, add a splash of water to achieve your desired consistency.

6. 6

   Finish with Lime and Cilantro

   Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

7. 7

   Serve

   Serve the black refried beans warm as a side dish or use them as a filling for tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.
