Refried Black Beans
Ingredients
- 2 15- ounce cans of black beans drained and rinsed (see Notes)
- 1/3 cup chicken broth (see Notes)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable or avocado oil
- 1/2 yellow onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 jalapeño pepper seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
