Easy Low-fat Refried Beans

1-2 Tbsp corn oil
1 small onion, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp white pepper
1 shot red Tabasco sauce
1 shot green Tabasco sauce
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a sauce pan. Saute the onions until brown
and caramelized. Add the garlic and cook until the garlic is
golden brown. Add the beans and spices and cook until hot.

Remove from heat, and mash with a potato masher or process
in a food processor until smooth. If the beans are too
thick, you can thin them out with a little bit of picante
sauce.

Serve with your favorite Mexican dish.
If you want to make a bean dip, only drain one can of
the black beans and add the liquid from the other can to the
pot. Pinto beans will also work instead of the black beans
