Using a potato masher, mash the beans in the pan, while you are cooking them, until they are a rugh puree. Add more water if necessary to keep the fried beans fro getting too dried out.

    Very Good
    This was an easy and very good recipe. Pinto beans are so good for you and I like that this uses olive oil (the good stuff) and NOT lard or something. The dish was a hit for everybody that was eating! - 11/16/07
