Vegetarian Refried Beans

• 1 pound dry pinto beans, rinsed
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic, divided
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 2 tablespoons ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• salt to taste

1. Place the beans in a large saucepan, and cover with an inch of water.
2. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil.
3. When the beans have come to a boil, drain, and return them to the same pot.
4. Cover the beans with 2 inches of water, and stir in 1 tablespoon of garlic, the tomato, cumin, and chili powder.
5. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, and simmer until the beans are very soft, about 3 hours and 45 minutes, adding water as needed.
6. Once the beans have cooked, mash them with the remaining tablespoon of garlic, the oil, and salt to taste; use additional water as needed to achieve desired consistency.
7. Place over low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
