I have never been to Chipotle before, but I have recently become
acquainted with their burrito bowls. As I understand it, they are customizable,
filling, tasty, high in protein, with a relatively low calorie count. All of
this sounded really good to me, so I started looking around for assembly
instructions, as well as a recipe for their black beans. There are a number of
recipes that claim to be copycats of Chipotle's black beans, but I opted for
the one that I deemed to be the easiest because it is made in the slow cooker,
customizing it in my own special way. The last thing I want to do in the heat
is boil beans on the stove top. I was pleased with the results; they are very
good, but I think made even better by the inclusion of minced jalapeño, but
that’s just me.
Copycat Chipotle Black Beans
1 lb. dried black beans, rinsed
1 yellow onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce, minced
4 c. vegetable broth

2 t. dried Mexican oregano
1 t. adobo

Freshly ground black pepper
Into a slow
cooker, place black
beans, onion, garlic, chipotle chili, broth, water, cumin, oregano, adobo, and
bay leaves; stir to combine. Cook on high for 6-7 hours until the beans
are tender. Discard the bay leaves and add lime juice and salt and pepper,
to taste.
