Mexican Beans

01Method

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, chillies, red pepper and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes, then stir in the vinegar and both tins of beans.

2. 2

   Reduce the heat to low and mix in the remaining ingredients. If the mixture looks too thick, add a small amount of water. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding a little more water as needed.

3. 3

   After 10–12 minutes, remove from the heat. Mash the beans roughly with a potato masher or fork, or blend to a smoother consistency using a hand blender.

4. 4

   Serve as a side to chilli con carne or as a dip with tortilla chips.
