"refried" Kidney Beans

A bunch of recipes thrown into one - I like these beans! I use TheDancingCook's No Sugar Homemade Taco Seasoning #125802 for my taco seasoning.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 sides

Ingredients

• 1  medium onion, chopped
• 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 1  tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1  tablespoon  taco seasoning
•  low-fat Mexican cheese blend, for topping

Directions

1. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are translucent.
2. Add green chilis, kidney beans and taco seasoning; stir well.
3. Put bean mixture into food processor and pulse until desired consitency is reached (I really process it down to almost smooth).
4. Return bean mixture to pan; reheat, serve immediately, garnished with cheese, if desired.
