Servings:

Ingredients

1 pound dry beans, preferably pinto beans
2 tablespoons oil
1 large onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, or to taste, minced
3 chipotle chiles in adobo, chopped (include some sauce)
4 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup ketchup
4 cups chopped fresh tomatoes OR one 28 oz. can
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)

Directions

PREP

20 mins

COOK

2 hrs

READY IN

3 hrs

Sort and rinse beans. Add 2 quarts water (if possible, do not use very hard water-- this could prevent beans from softening) and let stand overnight, or use quick-soak method: boil beans in 2 quarts water for 2 minutes, cover, and let stand 1 hour.
Return beans and soaking water to medium heat.
In a saucepan or skillet, heat oil. Add chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook another minute or two. Add to beans.
Add chipotles, chili powder, salt, ketchup, and tomatoes to beans. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook until beans are tender, 1 1/2 - 2 hours. Taste for seasoning. Top, if desired, with any or all of: sour cream, chopped fresh cilantro, grated cheese.
TIP: Allow plenty of time for beans to cook - old beans take longer.
