Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter (save for later) or 1 tablespoon oil (save for later)
1 small white onion, peeled and diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 teaspoon dried chipotle powder (or regular chili powder)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed lime juice
fine sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter (or oil) in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked and fragrant.
  • Add in the pinto beans, veggie stock, chipotle chili powder, cumin and oregano, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer.
  • Remove pan from heat. Use a potato masher or a wooden spoon to mash the beans to your desired consistency. (Or if you would like them to be super-smooth, you can purée them in a food processor until smooth.).
  • Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter until it is melted and well-combined. Taste and season the beans with lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve warm, topped with any garnishes you might like.
  • optional garnishes: finely-chopped fresh cilantro, crumbled or shredded cheese, diced tomato, and/or sliced jalapeño.
