Instructions

Beans

  • Chop bacon and add it to a sauté pan. Cook over medium heat. Chop the onion. Note: If you are not using bacon, use 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Once the bacon is cooked, add the chopped onion, salt, cumin, and garlic to the saute pan.
  • When the onions are soft, add the black beans to the pan.
  • While beans are cooking, mash them with a potato masher or use a metal spatula. As you smash the beans, the mixture will thicken.
