Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Peel and finely dice the onion. Peel and thinly slice the garlic.
- Step 2
Heat oil in a large pan and sauté the garlic and onions with a little salt until translucent. Once the onions are translucent, add the paprika, sugar, and tomato paste and sauté for another minute.
- Step 3
Deglaze the pan with diced tomatoes and beans (including the liquid from the can). Stir well to loosen the browned bits from the bottom.
- Step 4
Cook the beans uncovered for 10 to 20 minutes, until the bean mixture has thickened and become creamy. Stir frequently to prevent the beans from burning.
- Step 5
Season the beans with lime juice, salt, pepper and chili flakes, and serve with toppings and side dishes as desired.
