Instructions
Heat the oil in a large pan over a med/low heat, then add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until it just starts to turn golden (careful, it will quickly burn).
Stir in the beans (and the liquid from 1 of the cans), cumin, cayenne and salt and heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mash the beans with a potato masher, fork or with an immersion blender, but don’t puree it completely - keep a bit of texture.
If the refried beans are a bit soupy, they will thicken up as they cool, or you can simmer them again to evaporate some moisture.
