Directions
Fling pinto beans, water, bay leaf, chili flakes, whole cumin seeds, dried chilis, chopped garlic, onion, and cayenne pepper into slow cooker set on high.

After several hours, when beans are easily squashed between your fingertips, add cilantro. Continue cooking for another hour. Use immersion blended to break down onions, finish by mashing with a potato masher. Add salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.

*Note - After refrigeration, the refried beans will firm up to the expected consistency - it tends to be a little runny (but still delightful) straight out of the cooker.
