Cover beans with fresh water just above beans, add onion. Bring beans to a boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes 30 Minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove onion and drain the beans, keeping 1/2 cup of the 'bean broth'.

Fry the diced onion in a large skillet in olive oil until it’s golden, add minced garlic and jalapeno peppers and cook for another minute.

Add chili powder, heat through. Add the drained cooked beans to the skillet, adding 1/4 cup of the bean broth.

Mash the beans with a potato masher, adding more bean broth for desired moisture. Keep mixing the mashed beans until the texture is a chunky paste. Add seasoning to taste. Top with grated cheese if you like. Enjoy!
