  • ½ onion chopped, small
  • 1 jalapeno pepper chopped
  • 1 clove garlic chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin if desired, not traditional, but tasty, ground
  • salt I use about ¼ teaspoon, to taste
  • 1.5 cups pinto beans drained, if using canned, cooked
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce or more, if desired – chipotle in adobo is a great option as well, or use homemade ranchero sauce

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onion and jalapeno peppers. Cook them down for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin and salt. Cook another minute.
