Refried Black Beans

Warmed up today in Florida but kind of cloudy so I needed to brighten up my late lunch/dinner. I'm grilling Mahi Mahi. Needing a side dish, I decided to do Refried Black Beans and grill my Ciabatta bread. Oh Yeah!! With some of my Pineapple Salsa for relish. Looking Brighter out there. I think a Pinot Grigio will go well....uncork and yum.

Put half of the black beans in a food processor and puree them.Saute onions and peppers in olive oil until soft Add all beans to onion mixture along with beef broth,Chipotle, Cumin, salsa and half of the Cilantro.
