Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans (you can use canned or cook your own)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth (adjust as needed for desired consistency)
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, lime wedges, or avocado
Instructions
- Start by heating your olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Now, add in the minced garlic and cook it for about 1 minute until it’s fragrant—gotta love that smell!
- Next up, add the cooked pinto beans to the skillet along with the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mash the beans with a fork or potato masher until you reach your desired consistency. If you like it a bit creamier, feel free to leave some beans whole for texture!
- Pour in the vegetable broth gradually while stirring, until the mixture is nice and creamy. If you need it a bit thinner, just keep adding broth while stirring until it’s perfect for your taste.
- Once it’s cooked to your liking, give it a taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice for that extra zing!
- Serve your delightful vegan refried beans warm, topped with cilantro, a wedge of lime, or some creamy avocado if you feel fancy. Enjoy them in tacos, burritos, or just as a dip with tortilla chips!
