Ingredients

  • 2 cans Black Beans
  • 4 oz can Diced Green Chiles
  • 1 medium 250g White Onion, finely diced
  • 5 cloves 25g Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon 16g Olive Oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons 15-30g Hot Sauce
  • 1/2-1 cup 120-240mL Vegetable, Chicken, or Beef Broth

Instructions

  • 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.
