Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 210kcal
Ingredients
- 28 oz pinto beans (or black beans. You can use one can of each as I did. If you cook your own beans use about 3 cups in total)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion (finely diced)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 canned chipotle chili (with 1 teaspoon of the adobo sauce it comes with. It's spicy so use less or more if you like yours milder or spicier)
- ½ teaspoon roasted cumin
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a saucepan.
- Add the onions and garlic. Season with salt and ground black pepper (optional) and cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until they are translucent and soft.
- Add the chipotle chili with adobo sauce and cumin. Stir them in, then add the beans and the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil.
- Let the beans simmer about 10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated, but don't let them dry out completely as they will thicken further as they cool. Use the ladle or a potato masher to mash some of the beans. I don't mash mine completely because I like the texture.
- Turn off the heat. Serve.
