Vegan Refried Beans [frijoles Refritos]
  1. Rinse and drain the beans and have them ready.

  2. In a medium pan with a lid, over medium high heat, heat the oil.

  3. Add the onion and garlic and saute for 20 seconds, constantly mixing with a wooden spoon.

  4. Lower the heat to a medium low and add the cumin, oregano, and paprika. Constantly mixing, cook for 10 seconds. Add the beans and mix well.

  5. Add the water, turn the heat up to medium high and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, and lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes. Check every 10 minutes to make sure it is not sticking to the bottom of the pot.

  6. Remove the lid, turn the head up to a medium high, and with the wooden spoon, gently start mashing all of the beans. During this process make sure to mix as you mash the beans. This will help any extra water to evaporate and the mashing of the beans will also thicken the mixture.

  7. Continue cooking on high heat and mixing at the same time until the desired consistency is achieved.

  8. Serve hot.
