Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by draining and rinsing two cans of pinto beans under cool water. Set the beans aside.
- In a medium pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add one diced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until translucent.
- Add three cloves of finely chopped garlic to the pot and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the can of diced Hatch chiles, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, and a pinch of green chile powder. Mix thoroughly and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Gently add the prepared pinto beans and 2 cups of broth. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Use a potato masher to mash about a quarter of the beans for desired consistency.
- If too thick, stir in additional broth or water to reach the preferred consistency. Adjust salt to taste before serving.
