Step 1

To make your own refried black beans start by sautéing Yellow Onions (1/2 cup) and Garlic (1 clove) in Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (1 Tbsp) until carmalized, and add in Canned Black Beans (2 1/3 cups) and mash away! I usually use the back of a spatula or a potato masher to get the job done.

Step 2

When mashing the beans make sure to leave some of the beans whole. You will end up with a chunkier texture. Season with Salt (1/8 tsp) and Ground Black Pepper (1/8 tsp) .

Step 3

I like to top my refried beans with Sour Cream (to taste) , Onions (to taste) , and Fresh Cilantro (to taste) . You can even sprinkle some Queso Fresco (to taste) on top. All are optional!
