  Step 1

  First follow my other tutorial on cooking VEGAN Pinto beans.
  Yes, I am a bossy one....

  OR...You can use beans from a can. They will not taste HALF as good though..consider yourself warned.

• 

  Step 2

  Ignore my ugly pan and pour some Olive oil or vegetable oil into a pan. Heat to med/low heat.

  Since I was doing a big batch of beans I put enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.

• 

  Step 3

  Fill your pan with cold/warm cooked pinto beans. Make sure there is a decent amount of liquid. If you use a pasta spoon to get the beans you should be ok.

  Now the fun part..

• 

  Step 4

  Using a bean masher or potato masher MASH, MASH, MASH the beans. Sing a song about it if you want!

  Once your beans are sufficiently mashed, turn the heat to medium low.

  The beans will be watery at this point.

  note* you can use a fork to mash, it just takes a long time.

• 

  Step 5

  Occasionally stirring your beans, let them reach the desired consistency.

  Scrap the baked bits off the sides. This is the best part!

  Check your seasonings, add a dash of chili for some kick. Cilantro and a dash of lime work well together.

• 

  Step 6

  Now the easy part, make tacos!

  Or...you can make bean dip! I like to stir in some chili, cheese and a little cilantro and lime. Let the cheese melt and put into a big bowl with some yummy chips!

  Let me know what you guys think. If you try doing this upload a picture of your yummy creation!
