Step 1

Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add beans, chicken broth, garlic powder, ground cayenne, salt, and cumin. Stir to combine. Cook the beans for about 10 minutes, allowing them to come to a boil.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium and add the diced tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until beans reach your desired consistency.

Step 3

Use an immersion blender, potato masher, or the back of a fork to blend/mash half of the black beans (see notes). Serve!
