Steps
Read instructions and get ready to cook
Drain and rinse beans
Drain the canned beans in a colander and rinse under cold running water.
Prepare vegetables
Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Simmer beans
In a large pot, combine the rinsed beans, chopped onion, and 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Mash beans
Using a potato masher or the back of a spoon, mash the beans until they reach your desired consistency (smooth or slightly chunky).
Heat oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Fry beans
Add the mashed beans to the skillet and stir in the minced garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are slightly dry and begin to crisp on the bottom, about 10 minutes.
Serve
Transfer the refried beans to a serving bowl and serve hot.
