Chipotle Black Beans

I made this up by surveying the contents of my pantry, since I didn't have any perishables in the house besides onions and garlic. I like using dried beans but you could probably substitute three cans of black beans and cook on the stove for about 30 minutes.





2 cups black turtle beans
6 cups water

Soak beans in water in crockpot overnight.

1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp oregano
1 bay leaf

Add to beans in crockpot and cook on high for 6 hours.

1 - 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, rinsed
1 chipotle pepper in adobe sauce (you find these in 8 oz. cans in the Mexican food section of grocery stores)
1 - 8 oz. can diced green chiles
1 - 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained and rinsed
1 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp chicken or vegetable bouillon

Add to crockpot and cook on low for 1 hour. Serve with Easy Mexican Rice (or quinoa).
