Step 1

In a medium saucepan you will want to turn on medium heat. Then add your oil and let it get warm. Toss in your onions and salt.

Step 2

Cook your onions until they are softened and become translucent, this takes around 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add in your garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds, you want it to begin to smell fragrant.

Step 4

Now pour your drained beans in along with vegetable stock. Stir and cook covered for 5 minutes on medium-low heat.

Step 5

Reduce your heat to low and remove your lid. Grab a potato masher or blender and mix up the beans. I generally mix only half the bans up as I like a thicker texture. But mix to your desired texture.

Step 6

You will want to cook the beans for 2-3 more minutes stirring often.

Step 7

Once done remove beans from the heat, and stir in the lime juice. Add salt to taste if ou would prefer.

Step 8

If your refried beans seem dry you can add a splash of broth or even water. Cover and stir occassionally until you are ready to serve.
