Process the beans in the food processor until they are a homogenous bean paste. This will require some water so that it becomes smooth and creamy. Add small amounts bit by bit.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the minced garlic cloves and cook until the edges are golden brown. Add the black bean paste and spread over the garlic and oil base.
Fry the bean paste without moving it for about two minutes. Add the salt and black pepper to taste and mix the refried beans until you have a creamy bean puree that doesn’t stick to the sides or bottom of the pan, if needed add a little water to make it extra smooth.
Heat the tortillas according to package instructions. Serve the refried beans with warm tortillas, chili pepper, cheese, red onion, bell pepper, radishes, cilantro leaves, low fat greek yogurt, and chipotle or tabasco sauce (optionally).
