Refried Beans

Hola!  Happy Cinco de Mayo!  I'm actually out of town today and NOT cooking my favorite Mexican food, but I figured I would share my recipe for refried beans.  Top with a bit of cheese and salsa!

Here's What You Need:
16oz bag of dried pinto beans
2tbsp minced garlic
2tbsp chili powder
2tbsp cumin
3tbsp extra virgin olive oil
salt to taste

Here's What You Do:
Soak pinto beans overnight.  Drain water and place in pot with fresh water, covering two inches above the beans.

Bring beans to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 3 hours.

Mash beans and add seasonings and EVOO. 

Add additional water, if needed, and return to low heat for 30 minutes, stirring several times.
