Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow or white onion (about 1/2 small onion)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, rinsed and drained, or 3 cups cooked pinto beans
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (about 1/2 medium lime), to taste
Instruction:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Add the garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the drained beans and water. Stir, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and remove the lid. Use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash up about at least half of the beans, until you reach your desired consistency. Continue to cook the beans, uncovered, stirring often, for 3 more minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cilantro and lime juice. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice if necessary. If the beans seem dry, add a very small splash of water and stir to combine. Cover until you’re ready to serve.

Ingredients:
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 15-ounce cans refried beans (or make homemade refried beans)*
- 1 large garlic clove (or as a shortcut, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (or 1/2 yellow and 1/2 orange), finely diced
- Pickled Red Onions or sliced red onion
- Taco sauce (purchased or homemade) or Chipotle Sauce, required!
- Fresh cilantro, torn
- 8 tortillas, corn or flour
- Optional: Shredded cheese, feta or queso fresco, sour cream or cashew cream (or Vegan Cilantro Sauce or Cilantro Lime Sauce)
Instruction:
- Mince the garlic. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not yet browned (or skip this step and use garlic powder instead). Heat the refried beans, cumin and kosher salt until warmed, about 3 minutes. Taste and adjust flavors as desired.
- Chop the lettuce. Dice the bell pepper. Prep the other toppings as desired. (If using pickled red onions, it’s easiest to make them in advance.)
- Warm the tortillas: Warm and char the tortillas by placing them on an open gas flame on medium for a few seconds per side, flipping with tongs, until they are slightly blackened and warm. (See How to Warm Tortillas.)
- Serve: Place the refried beans in the tortillas, then top with toppings and enjoy.
