A delightful recipe for creamy and flavorful refried beans, perfect as a side dish or filling.
Rinse the dried pinto beans under cold water to remove any debris.
Soaking the beans overnight can reduce cooking time.
Place the beans in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the beans are tender, about 1.5 hours.
Adding a bay leaf to the water can enhance the flavor of the beans.
In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the cooked beans to the skillet along with a ladle of their cooking liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher until they reach your desired consistency.
For a smoother texture, use a hand blender.
Season the mashed beans with salt and cumin. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the beans before serving.
Lime juice adds a refreshing tang to the beans.
Serve the refried beans warm as a side dish or filling for tacos and burritos.
Garnish with chopped cilantro for added freshness.
