Yield Makes about 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1/3 cup finely chopped white onion
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can black beans, including liquid
1 medium garlic clove, pressed or finely grated
1/2 teaspoon árbol chile powder or cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until it's soft and browned at the edges, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, garlic, and chile powder.
  • Let the beans come to a brisk simmer, then lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring and mashing often until the beans resemble a very coarse puree and have thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. When you tip the pan, the beans should creep forward like lava. The beans will thicken a little more once they cool. Add salt to taste. Use warm or at room temperature.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I've never been able to get the beans to be creamy. They always end up being too dry.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning.

These beans were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.

These beans were easy to make and turned out great! I used canned black beans, which saved me a lot of time. I also added a bit of extra cumin and chili powder to give them a little more flavor.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I've tried many refried bean recipes, but this one is by far the best. The beans are perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the addition of cumin and chili powder gives them a delicious smoky flavor.

These refried black beans were a hit at my last dinner party! I served them with grilled chicken and roasted vegetables, and everyone raved about them. They're so flavorful and creamy, and they have just the right amount of spice.
