Refried Beans (a la Kelli)

My friend Kelli taught me how to make beans this way, and I haven't looked back since.

2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp chipotle powder (optional but awesome)
2 cloves garlic

3 cups cooked pinto beans, black beans or black-eyed peas
salt to taste

Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat.  Add the garlic and spices and heat for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.  Add the beans and salt and mash the beans until creamy.  Cook until the desired consistency.
