4
cloves

2
cans
pinto beans, rinsed
½
cup
stock or broth
1
tsp

1
Tbsp
lemon or lime juice
Handful of cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in a pan and saute the onion and garlic until fragrant and onions are clear.
Add in beans, seasonings, and vegetable stock and heat until warm.
Once warm, remove from heat. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash your beans. If you like them super smooth, use a blender.
Add in the remaining tablespoon of oil or butter and season to taste with salt, pepper, and lime juice.
Garnish with cilantro and ENJOY!
Notes
Refried beans freeze so well! Add a meal-sized portion to a freezer bag once the beans have cooled. Thaw in the fridge before reheating and enjoy!
