Rice & Beans

Heat oil
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

- 3
Add garlic and spices
Stir in minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder; cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- 4
Add beans and liquid
Pour in the drained pinto beans and 1/2 cup water or bean liquid; stir to combine and heat through.
- 5
Simmer
Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld flavors and prevent sticking.
- 6
Mash to refried texture
Mash the beans in the pan with a potato masher or fork until you reach your desired consistency. For creamier beans, gradually add more water a tablespoon at a time.

Season
Taste and season with salt to taste. If desired, adjust with a pinch more cumin or chili powder for depth.

Finish and note yield
Keep warm. This pint yields roughly 2 cups of refried beans, suitable for about 4 servings alongside rice or tortillas.
