Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. When hot, add the cumin seeds and garlic cloves and toast until fragrant but not burnt, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the pinto beans with their liquid and a large pinch of salt. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  3. Partly mash the beans with a fork or potato masher to your liking.
  4. Once the beans reach your desired consistency, turn off the heat. Taste and add salt as needed.
  5. Add a splash of lime juice and grate in zest from the same lime. Taste and add more if you like.
  6. Serve as a side or use as a spread.
