Instructions

Heat up 1 tablespoon oil in a small pot on medium heat until shimmering but NOT smoking

Add diced onions and cook for 2 minutes stirring or until translucent. Add garlic and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Try not to get much color on the onions or garlic. Add can of beans (with liquid), paprika, cumin, ancho, pepper, and a big pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low and simmer. Stir and “chop” the black beans with a wooden spoon or wooden spatula 

If it starts to boil reduce heat and scrape bottom. If it starts getting too thick or dry add a little water and stir to cook it out over time. Beans should take 1-2 hours total time
