Instructions

1
Place the leftover frijoles charros into a blender.
2
Blend the beans until they reach your desired consistency. For very smooth beans, blend thoroughly.
3
Heat vegetable oil or lard in a large skillet over medium heat.
4
Add the chopped onion to the hot oil and sauté until soft and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
5
Pour the blended beans into the skillet with the sautéed onions.
6
Season the beans with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cumin.
7
Whisk the seasonings into the beans until well combined. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, allowing the beans to fry and thicken as some of the moisture cooks out.
8
Once the beans have reached your desired thickness, they are ready to serve. Garnish with crumbled queso fresco.
