Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius). Sort through the beans to remove any debris. Combine the pinto and red beans in a large oven-proof lidded pot, and add enough water to cover the beans by one inch. Place the black beans in a separate oven-proof lidded pot, and again add enough water to cover by one inch. Bake for 75 minutes, then stir and check for doneness. If the beans are not done, continue cooking at 15-minute intervals until the desired firmness is reached.
- Meanwhile, remove the stems and seeds from the peppers, and dice them into small, bean-sized pieces. Dice the onion and combine it with the peppers in a large bowl.
- In a mason jar or other container with a lid, combine the vinegar, salt, black pepper, chipotle chili pepper, and olive oil. Shake until well emulsified.
- Once the beans have cooked, add them to the large bowl with the peppers and onions. Drizzle the dressing over the mixture and toss well to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Use the mason jar to make the dressing.

Notes
- Special kudos to Latricia for the conversion: 1 can of beans is equal to 1/2 cup of dried beans, cooked. This conversion makes this recipe perfect for using canned beans—one can of each bean! Thank you, Latricia!
- To store this salad, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days. The flavors actually improve over time as they marinate. I don't recommend freezing as the texture of the beans and vegetables may become mushy.
- If you've made it ahead, let it come to room temperature before serving, but avoid reheating as it’s best enjoyed cold or at room temperature.
