How to Make Jalapeno Refried Black Beans
- Heat bacon drippings or lard in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and minced jalapeno. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the ground cumin and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add about 1 cup of the rinsed and drained black beans to the skillet. Mash with a potato masher or the back of a spoon until mostly smooth but with some texture remaining.
- Gradually add the remaining beans, mashing as you go. Add black bean liquid, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavorful.
- Remove from heat and top with shredded cheese. Serve immediately or let sit for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt completely.
- Enjoy your delicious and spicy Jalapeno Refried Black Beans!
