Mexican Beans
1 1/2 C. Pink or Pinto beans, dried (or 3 C. of canned beans)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. chipotle en adobo, pureed
4 cloves garlic
1 T. cumin
2 tsp. oregano
1/2 C. catsup (or ketchup)
Soak beans overnight. When rehydrated (at least 6 hours), cook till tender with the onions, salt, and water to barely cover. (in a pressure cooker it takes about 6 minutes under pressure. Without a pressure cooker it would take about a half hour). Once the beans are fully cooked, drain out some water if you don’t like your beans soupy, and then add the rest of the ingredients. Cook for about 20 minutes, until it tastes good. These beans are good right away, but even better the next day, because the spices have a chance to work their way into the beans.
