Refried Black Beans

By draingal

Dad trusts Lucia Watson to serve this with your favorite fish dinner that is served with a hint of jalapenos, cilantro, garlic, lime juice and tequila.

Ingredients

• 2 cups or one can cooked black beans
• 2 cloves garlic, mashed
• 1/2 onion, minced
• 1 tbsp. bacon fat or olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp. ground chili powder
• salt to taste (about a tsp.)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil or bacon fat in a skillet. Add the onion and garlic; cook until translucent over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Add the beans and cook, mashing the beans against the skillet with a fork or spatula so they become sort of mushy, but most of the liquid is cooked out. Add water if they seem dry. Add the seasonings and taste.
