Refried Beans

Here's my beans...they are pretty tasty!!!!!!

Refried Beans:
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder, or your preference
1 (15 oz) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2/3 cup chicken broth, plus more if needed
Salt & pepper
2 tablespoons chopped Fresh cilantro leaves

*Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion & cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garli & chili powder & cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the beans & chicken broth & cook until the beans are warmed through, about 5 minutes. Mash the beans coarsley with the back of a wooden spoon, (I usually have my mini-food processor out & scoop out a couple cups out & blend it) Or you have a hand mixer and blend the beans, too. Add more chicken broth to moisten, if needed. Season with salt & pepper, to taste. Stir in the cilantro.
