Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter (or oil) in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked and fragrant.
- Add in the pinto beans, veggie stock, chipotle chili powder, cumin and oregano, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer.
- Remove pan from heat. Use a potato masher or a wooden spoon to mash the beans to your desired consistency. (Or if you would like them to be super-smooth, you can purée them in a food processor until smooth.)
- Stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter until it is melted and well-combined. Taste and season the beans with lime juice, salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve warm, topped with any garnishes you might like.
