Refried Beans

• 1lb dry black beans

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• 2qt Water (use vegetable or chicken stock for best flavor)

• 1 tsp chili powder

• ½ tsp ground cumin

• ½ large white onion, chopped (about 1½ cups)

• 1 garlic clove, minced

• Cilantro chopped

Preparation

1. Soak Beans overnight. You will notice the beans would have doubled in size. Drain water and set aside. In a stock pot add oil, onion, garlic and cumin. Stir frequently, season with salt and add the drained beans. Pour water or stock and let simmer for 2 hours.

2. Once the beans have been fully cooked, puree the beans and add the remaining ingredients. Stir frequently so you don’t burn the bottom of the pot. Simmer at a low temperature for another 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste and keep warm for later use.

3. In a medium sauce pot, drizzle oil and add onion, peppers, garlic, cumin, coriander and cilantro. Stir in tomato and simmer for 20 minutes. At this point, you can puree for a smooth sauce, or leave it for rustic and chunky sauce.

4. Fry the tortilla and assemble your plate with eggs and desired meat.

For a vegan, skip the eggs and option substitute the meat with tofu, and the tortilla with seitan or tempeh.
