Heat your oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the diced white onion and garlic. Saute for 7 - 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and have softened.
Add the spices, stir for another minute, then tip in your pinto beans and the water.
Stir the beans into the spice and onion mixture, then cook for 10 minutes, using the back of your spoon or a potato masher to mash about two-thirds of the beans, retaining a slightly chunky consistency (if you prefer completely smooth refried beans, mash them all!).
Cook for another 5 minutes or so until the beans have thickened, then squeeze over the lime juice. Taste your beans and adjust your seasoning accordingly.
