Homemade Refried Bean Burritos

Refried Beans

2 T olive oil
1 medium onion, minced
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp chili flakes or 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
4 cups cooked pinto beans (can use black beans)
1/2 cup (or more) vegetable stock or filtered water
1-2 tsp sea salt

juice of 1/2 of a lime

1. Heat oil at medium in a large pot.  Add onions, chili powder, cumin and coriander and sauté for 5 min.  Add garlic and chili flakes and continue to sauté until onions are soft and translucent...(may need to add a splash of water to prevent sticking).

2. Stir in beans, stock and salt and cook for a few more minutes.

3. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly then mash to desired consistency
**I have often skipped this step and just served the seasoned beans without mashing them

4. Stir in lime juice and re-heat for a few minutes.

5. Evenly portion filling down center of each flour or corn tortilla, top with any of the below and enjoy!
