Refried Beans

• 2 cups drained Borracho Beans (page 128) or Black Beans (page 127)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons bean cooking liquid, or as needed (optional)
• Reserved bacon grease from Borracho Beans or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Grated or crumbled queso fresco, for serving (optional)

1. In the work bowl of a food processor, place the borracho beans.
2. Puree until smooth, adding a little of the bean cooking liquid if necessary to keep the beans from sticking to the blade.
3. In a medium skillet, heat the bacon grease or oil over medium heat until hot.
4. Add the puree and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
5. Serve, topped with queso fresco, if desired.
