Black beans are a staple side to any Mexican dish. Serve these beans warm and tender after 10 hours in the slow cooker. Ingredients:
1 (1-pound) package dried black beans |
3 cups fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth |
2 cups finely chopped onion (about 1 large) |
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chile, canned in adobo sauce |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 garlic cloves, minced |
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice |
4 ounces crumbled queso fresco (about 1 cup) |
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1/2 cup unsalted pumpkinseed kernels |
Directions:
1. Sort and wash beans; place in a large Dutch oven. Cover with water to 2 inches above beans; bring to a boil. Cook 2 minutes; remove from heat. Cover and let stand 1 hour. Drain beans.
2. Place beans in a 3-quart electric slow cooker. Stir in chicken broth and next 4 ingredients (through garlic). Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours or until beans are tender.
3. Stir in lime juice. Mash bean mixture with a potato masher until slightly thick. Sprinkle with queso fresco, cilantro, and pumpkinseed kernels.
