Home-Style Refried Beans

ChubbyBunny

I am getting kinda blahed out on canned refried beans. Also, I am hoping to gradually increase a "cleaner" eating diet. This looks like a wonderful option!

Ingredients:
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
4 teaspoons canola oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons lime juice

Directions:
In a large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Stir in the garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add beans and mash. Add water; cook and stir until heated through and water is absorbed. Remove from the heat; stir in lime juice.

Yield: 2-2/3 cups.
