First you boil the beans and save the water that you boil them in . Then I use regular cooking oil, pour the beans and some of the water that you boiled them in into the skillet with cooking oil , heat up and then mash ... Is that what you are looking for .
The canned beans don't taste as good as if you boil them yourself :wink:
Oh and after you are done mashing ( I use a hand potato masher) you can put cheese on top :thumbup:

My friend , Margarita, always makes them when she visits at my house. She boils the beans with salt and then fries them in lard at her house or uses canola oil at my house. She says to make sure the lard/oil is hot before putting the beans and pot juice in. She mashes with the back of a large cooking spoon. I have watched her do this many times but my beans are never as good as her's. I keep any leftovers in the freezer if she makes them.
