Amazing refried beans!!

Do me a favor, NEVER buy refried beans out of a can!!

So it was 3 years ago or so when i stumbled over these AMAZING beans!! I have always loved refried beans but the canned version never seemed quite right to me. I have made these beans dozens and dozens  of times of the past few years. They pair so well with any Mexican type dish! They are so easy to make and much easier to eat. They go very fast!!

Recipe from Sunny Anderson

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 garlic clove, grated
• 1 jalapeno, minced
• 1/4 cup diced onions
• 1 packet Sazon seasoning (about 1 1/4 teaspoons)
• 2 (15.5-ounce) cans pinto beans
• 1 lime, juiced....DO NOT SKIP THE LIME it is the star!!!
• Cilantro as a garnish if you like
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic, jalapeno, onion and Sazon. Saute until they start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add 1 can of pinto beans including the liquid in the can. Simmer until beans heat through and soften, another 4 to 5 minutes. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the beans. Drain the second can of pinto beans and add those to the pot. Stir mixture together and cook until beans warm through. Stir inlime juice and season, to taste, with salt and pepper and if you wish cilantro (yes please).
