Ingredients
- 4 c cooked pinto beans
- 3 T. fat for sauteing
- 1 c chopped onion
- 5 cloves minced garlic
- 2 1/2 t. cumin
- 2 t. paprika
- 2 t. sea salt
- 1/2 t. chili powder
- 1/2 t. black pepper
- Milk, as needed
Directions
-
In a large pot or saucepan, saute the onions in the fat until they are soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
-
Add the beans. If your beans are without liquid, you may need to add extra water or milk at this point.
-
Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, chili powder, and black pepper. Bring to a slow simmer and allow it all to cook on low heat for 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
If the mixture is dry, you may need to thin it with a splash of milk or water at this point.
-
Once the beans have cooked down for a while and the flavors have had time to incorporate, mash them with a potato masher, fork, or immersion blender.
