  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 to 2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo (with about 1 teaspoon of the sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

Instructions

  1. In a 5 to 6 quart slow cooker, combine all black bean ingredients except the fresh lime juice. Stir to combine. Cook on High heat for 6 to 8 hours or low for 12 hours or until beans are tender and falling apart. Stir in the fresh lime juice.
  2. Serve over rice with your favorite toppers.

Notes

If you want a thicker texture to serve it as a dip/spread – puree a cup of the beans and stir them back into the slow cooker.

If you want a thinner texture to serve it as a soup – add in additional vegetable or chicken stock to get desired thickness.
