Here's my favourite refried beans recipe. You can roll it up in flour
tortillas or put it in corn tortillas

* Refried Beans *
-----------------
                               Serves 2

2 medium onions
2-4 garlic cloves
1 (400g, 16oz) can tomatoes
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp mild chilli powder
2 (400g, 16oz) cans red kidney beans


1. Chop the onions and garlic. Saute them in vegetable stock
until well browned.

2. Add the tomatoes and mash down with a potato masher. Stir in
the cumin and chilli powder, then bring to a simmer and cook for about
5 minutes until the tomatoes begin to disintegrate into a sauce.

3. Drain and rinse the kidney beans. Add most of them to the
pan and mash with the potato masher. Stir in the rest of the beans and
cook for 5 minutes to mingle the flavours.

4. Serve hot with flour tortillas, hot or cold with tortilla
chips, and cold as a sandwich filling.
