1 bag beans of your choice
1 onion chopped
3 tbs garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

For Refried Beans: Cook Pinto beans using basic bean recipe. When fully cooked puree in blender or food processor until smooth (if you don't have either just mash with fork or potato masher until you get desired consistency). Then heat 1 tbs oil in skillet. Fry beans while stirring occasionally 5-10 mins. For a healthier version do not fry beans.
