No-Fried Mexican Beans Recipe
Ingredients:
1/4 cup dried pinto beans, soaked for 8 hours, - rinsed, and drained
1 tsp canola oil
2 tbsp chopped onion
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 tsp ground cumin
fresh ground pepper, to taste
2 dash cayenne pepper
Preparation:
Mash the beans using a potato masher and a sturdy bowl (or use a food
processor). The beans should be broken up and mealy, but not completely
pureed.
Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saut‚ the onions and
garlic for 3 to 4 minutes until the onions are soft. Add the mashed beans,
cumin, and black and red peppers. Stir well.
Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until some of the beans
begin to brown and stick slightly. This browning action will help give the
taste of authentic refried beans.
Cook until the desired consistency is achieved and serve.
