Made with cooked black beans in about 15 minutes, this is the perfect side dish for any Mexican or TexMex recipe

Instructions
Heat medium skillet over medium heat. When hot, add neutral oil and swirl to coat bottom of skillet entirely.
When oil is hot and shimmering, add chopped onion, minced garlic, and kosher salt. Stir well and cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are soft and begin to brown, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
Add 1 ½ cups black beans to skillet. Use back of wooden spoon or potato masher to mash beans completely, until no whole or partial beans remain. Add remaining 1 ½ cups black beans and mash to preferred consistency.
Cook mashed beans, stirring constantly, until starches begin to coat bottom of skillet and turn golden brown, approximately 3 minutes.
Slowly pour in bean liquid or water and stir to incorporate. Bring mixture to simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring and scraping bottom of skillet, until liquid is fully incorporated and beans are heated-through, approximately 2 minutes. Note: beans may look soupy but will thicken as they cool. Be sure to use the entire ¾ cup of liquid to prevent beans from drying out.
Serve as desired with chips, tacos, or other entrée.
Notes
Beans: You’ll need roughly two 15-ounce cans of black beans to yield 3 cups of cooked beans. I recommend using a low sodium version or quickly rinsing the black beans after draining.
Salt: It’s important that you use kosher salt in this recipe. If using table salt instead, use only ¾-1 teaspoon total.
Leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 7 days.
