Refried beans:
1 can black beans
2 garlic cloves minced
Chilli flakes to taste
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

-Get some oil warm in a saucepan and gently sauté the garlic and chilli flakes but don’t colour it for a minute or so.

-Add the paprika powder and cook out for 30 seconds.
-Pour in the whole can of black beans with all the water.
-Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring every now and then.
-Take off the heat and mash some of the beans up to thicken to your liking, I like to leave some beans whole.
-Heat up at the end just before serving, salt to taste (beans can take quite a lot of salt).
-For bonus points crumble over some cheese like wensleydale or Caerphilly, these are closest to proper Mexican queso fresco.
