Steps:
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat before adding the onion. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the onion softens and begins to slightly brown.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, before adding the diced green chiles and hot sauce. Stir until combined.
- Add the black beans and 1/2 cup of broth. (If your black beans have lots of liquid in the can, you may not need the rest of the broth.) Cook until very little liquid remains, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce to a low heat and use a potato masher or the backside of a spatula to mash the black beans. If your refried beans are thicker than you'd like, add more broth and cook a bit further.

Steps:
- Add olive oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add in onions and saute until tender and golden brown 3-4 minutes. Add in garlic and saute for an additional minute.
- Stir in the spices: cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and chili powder. Allow them to cook for one minute. Keep an eye on them and continuously stir so they do not burn.
- Add in beans and chicken broth and turn the heat down to low. Simmer until the mixture has thickened a bit, 5-10 minutes. (The mixture will still look a bit watery but will thicken when we mash the beans)
- Mash the beans with the back of your spatula or with a potato masher. Make sure to leave some of the beans whole to keep a chunky texture. Serve the beans as is or top with cilantro, raw onions, sour cream, or queso fresco.

REFRIED BLACK BEANS
Black beans are a Mexican staple, whether served soupy or refried. Here we'll make both, starting with dried beans for a taste and texture that transcends canned. (Use oil instead of lard to make these vegetarian! It's less traditional, but still delicious.)

Steps:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add lard. When lard has melted and begun to shimmer, add onions; adjust heat to medium-low, stir, and cook until translucent and soft, 6-8 minutes. Add 2 cups of Soupy Black Beans, well drained, to the skillet. Use a potato masher to mast beans directly in the skillet, while alternately stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture becomes a thick, creamy, relatively uniform paste. (Alternatively, you can use a blender.) When the refried beans have reached the appropriate consistency, taste and season with salt as necessary. Makes about 2 cups. (Use Refied Black Beans in Chef Camara's Torta Ahogada recipe.)
- Add water to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; then add beans, epazote, and garlic. Season with salt, stir, and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook at a gentle simmer until beans are soft but not falling apart, about 40-60 minutes (checking after 30 minutes).
- Check beans for doneness by removing one from the pan and squeezing; it should be easily mashable. Taste and season with salt as necessary. Serve as a side dish, garnished with oregano. Makes about 4 cups.

Steps:
- Lightly drain the beans, reserving the juice from the tin, but do not rinse (you want the beans in about half the liquid from the can). Depending on the texture you prefer, either mash them roughly in a bowl or blitz them using a blender until smooth. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan or casserole and cook the onions for 8-10 mins until soft and golden. Scatter in the garlic, chilli and cumin seeds, and sizzle everything for 2 mins more. Tip in the beans, oregano, paprika and a pinch of salt. Cook everything together for 5 mins until the beans have heated through adding more reserved bean juice if it's too thick. Serve straightaway with a sprinkling of coriander, if you like, or leave to cool and keep chilled. Will keep chilled for up to three days or frozen for a month. Reheat with a splash of water mixed in.

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and bay leaf; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and chili powder; cook, stirring, until garlic is softened and mixture is fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Remove bay leaf and discard. Add 2/3 of the black beans and stir to coat. Add 2/3 cup water and mash mixture using a potato masher. Add remaining black beans and stir to combine; add water, if necessary to thin. Season with salt and pepper and keep warm until ready to use.
Tips:
- Use dried black beans for the most flavorful refried beans. Soaking the beans overnight before cooking them will help to reduce the cooking time.
- If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them. To do this, bring the beans to a boil in a large pot of water. Remove the pot from the heat and let the beans sit for 1 hour. Drain the beans and rinse them before cooking them.
- Be sure to season the refried beans well. Salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano are all good choices. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cayenne pepper, to taste.
- Mash the refried beans to your desired consistency. Some people prefer a smooth, creamy consistency, while others prefer a more chunky consistency.
- Serve the refried beans with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Conclusion:
Refried black beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They can be served as a side dish, a main course, or a dip. They can also be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. No matter how you choose to serve them, refried black beans are sure to be a hit!
