Add the jalapeño. Cooking until fragrant.

Add a third of your beans and simmer for a moment

Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender

Add a 1/2 cup of veg stock or until covering the blade and your mixture. Then blend for 15 seconds on medium/high.

$Transfer the blended mixture back to your saut\u00e9 pan and bring back to medium heat$

Transfer the blended mixture back to your sauté pan and bring back to medium heat

Add the remaining beans and wait for them to get warm

Using a wooden spoon start to gently mash down the beans

If you added too much liquid just cook it down and stir regularly!

When you're done your beans will be thick. While the pan is cooling make sure to use your wooden spoon to incorporate the fond (brown bits) into your beans. Season to taste.

While suitable for a side I am using the beans as the base for a vegetarian taco!

I've added some other items on top. Enjoy!
