This is a great recipe I got from a friend. Its easy, healthy and good, and you can do it in your slow cooker.
4 cups dried pinto beans, or use 4 cans of pinto beans
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato paste
2 cloves crushed roasted garlic
1/4 cup buffalo chipolte sauce (use tabasco brand chipolte if you can't find buffalo but it isn't as good), or you can grind up an equivalent amount of canned chipoltes in adobo sauce
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cumin
1 large onion, diced
put pinto beans into a pot and add at least 3 inches of water above the level of the pinto beans, soak pinto beans overnight, at least 12 hours. or you can just use well washed canned pinto beans.
add all ingredients to crock pot and cook on high for at least 5 hours. mash well and serve with some soft tortillas, herdez chipolte salsa, cheese and sour cream, or whatever else you like on your burritos.
some ideas im going to try for this recipe:
- add some cream to the beans when done mashing them up
- lightly stir fry half of the onion (so it still has a bit of crunch) and add it to the mashed beans at the end for a bit of texture.
- try black beans instead of pinto beans
its great as it is but I like to experiment sometimes.
