Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until semi-translucent. Add the garlic and continue to cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more.
-
Add the beans, including the liquid, then add the water, cilantro, cumin, chili powder, salt, and cayenne. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, uncovered, until most of the water has evaporated.
-
Remove from the heat. Using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, mash the bean mixture until it is mostly smooth. Top with your favorite vegan cheese shreds, diced green onion, jalapeno, or freshly chopped cilantro - or go wild and top with all four!
Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy them within 3 to 5 days.
