Refried Bean Dip

Ingredients

• •1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• •1 tsp chili powder
• •1/2 tsp cumin
• •1/2 tsp garlic powder
• •2 tbsp water
• •1 tbsp vegetable oil
• •1/4 tsp salt
• •Saltine crackers for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Drain and rinse the pinto beans.

2. 2

   Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the beans to the skillet and mash them with a fork or potato masher. You want them mostly smooth with a few chunks for texture.

4. 4

   Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Add the water and stir to combine — the water helps loosen the beans into a dip-friendly consistency.

5. 5

   Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the beans are hot and the spices are fragrant.

6. 6

   Transfer to a bowl. Serve warm with crackers alongside for scooping.
