1
Heat fat
In a heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat until shimmering.
2
Sauté onions
Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
3
Add garlic and spices
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cumin and salt and stir to combine.
4
Mash beans with liquid
Add the pinto beans and 0.25 cup water. Mash with a potato masher or spoon until you reach your desired consistency (creamy or chunky). Add more water as needed to reach creaminess.
5
Season and adjust
Taste and adjust salt as needed. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more water or broth and continue mashing to reach the preferred texture.
6
Finish and serve
If using, stir in lime juice. Keep warm and serve as a side, or as a filling for tortillas, burritos, or bowls.
