"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic-bean-buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!" -Shel Silverstein, Poet

Refried beans aren't really refried. They are essentially simmered until the beans are well cooked and the carbohydrates help create a thick side dish. Often there's a lot of lard or other fat, but it's not really necessary for making a great dish of refried beans.

| 1 tsp | olive oil |
| 1 large | onion (minced) |
| 2 15 ounce can | no salt added black beans (drained and rinsed) |
| 1 small | chipotle in adobo (minced) |
| 4 cups | water |
| 1/2 tsp | salt |
| 1/2 tsp | cumin |
| fresh ground black pepper (to taste) |
Place the olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes.
Add the black beans, chipotle, water, salt, cumin and pepper. Stir well.
Simmer over medium heat stirring occasionally. Using a fork, spoon or potato masher, mash some of the black beans occasionally as they cook.
As the beans cook, add additional water if needed to keep the beans from getting too dried out. Stir and continue to mash the beans. After about 20 - 25 minutes the refried beans will begin to thicken up. Serve.
