Fritos Frijoles, refried beans

Cooked pinto beans
diced onion
minced garlic
1 tsp or more ground Cumin.
olive oil
salt
Pepper Jack Cheese

Partly mash beans. Saute with diced onion and minced garlic. Add 1 tsp;
or more ground Cumin. I use olive oil to saute' in. You'll need to salt
beans to taste. Turn off hear when beans have taken on a dryness. Cover
top of beans with Monterey jack cheese that you can buy shredded with
jalapeno peppers in it. Right before serving, remove lid and stir cheese
