Easy recipe that I make for dinner pretty frequently

You take a little oil (around a tbsp), put it in a saucepan and swirl it around until it coats the bottom

Put that thing on a burner over medium heat and get it to the point where it starts to shimmer (it'll look wavy)

Meanwhile, take two standard size cans of black beans and open them up, drain the bean water out of one of them and put them to the side (no need to rinse them)

Add one tbsp chili powder (i like chipotle powder myself), two tsp garlic powder, two tsp onion powder, one tsp dried oregano (Mexican oregano if you can find it) into the oil and stir them around so they don't burn, do that for about 30 seconds

Once everything is fragrant, dump them beans in there, both cans, yes with the bean water from the one can, cook it all together until it's hot

Taste your beans for salt and pepper, add some to your personal preference

Now the fun part, you going to want to take your spoon (or a potato masher if you have one) and you're going to smash the beans until they're a paste

You want to have it be at a spreadable consistency, so if they seem too thick, add a little water; if they're too thin, let them cook down a little

Congrats, you just made refried beans, perfect for making burritos, tacos, nachos, tostadas, etc.
