INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound dried pinto beans, rinsed
  • 8 cups water
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 TBSP ground cumin
  • 1 TBSP garlic powder
  • 1 TBSP paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • salt & black pepper



DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large pot, over medium-high heat, stir together the beans, water, onion, cumin, garlic, cayenne, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Bring to a boil.
  3. Place a lid on the pot then reduce the heat to medium-low.
  4. Simmer the beans while covered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
  5. Turn off the heat then strain the beans in a colander over a large container, making sure to reserve any liquid from the pot.
  6. Put the beans back into the pot along with about 1 cup of the reserved liquid.
  7. Use a potato masher to mash the beans thoroughly, adding more of the reserved liquid until you reach a desired consistency.
  8. Taste the beans and season with additional salt & pepper.
