Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola or avocado oil
- 1 small white or yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 (14-ounce) cans of black beans
- 1 ½ teaspoon adobo sauce from a can/bottle of chipotles in adobo
- 2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¾ cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Add oil to a large frypan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and jalapeños and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until softened, stirring often.
- Add the garlic and cook about 1 minute more.
- Add the black beans (along with the juices), adobo sauce, spices, and water to the pan and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and cook for about 35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the cilantro and remove from the heat. Mash the beans using the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher until you have reached the desired consistency. For a smoother consistency, you can either use an immersion blender or run the beans through a blender or a food processor fitted with a blade attachment.
