Ingredients
SMOKY BBQ BEANS
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 cup onion white, diced
- 1-4 chipotle pepper in adobo from a can // ~1 - 2 ½ Tbsp as recipe is written // spiciness varies by brand, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp cumin ground
- 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 (15-ounce) pinto beans canned, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup water (or sub vegetable broth for more flavor), plus more as needed
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
FOR SERVING
- 5 corn tortillas (find our homemade recipe here!)
- Jicama slaw (optional)
- guacamole (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes, until translucent and beginning to soften.
- Add the chopped chipotles in adobo (use the lesser amount if sensitive to spice), cumin, and smoked paprika, and cook until fragrant — about 1 minute.
- Add the drained pinto beans, water (or vegetable broth), maple syrup, and salt and stir to combine. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until warmed through and slightly thickened. Add the lime juice, stir, and season to taste, adding more paprika for smokiness, minced chipotle pepper for heat, or lime juice for brightness.
- When the beans are ready (tender and well seasoned), warm tortillas by wrapping in a damp paper towel (or kitchen towel) and microwaving for 30 seconds to 1 minute. If using fresh or homemade tortillas, you can warm them one at a time in a cast iron skillet over high heat for 10-20 seconds on each side (or until just warmed), then wrap in a towel to keep warm until serving.
- Divide beans between warmed corn tortillas and serve with toppings of your choice (jicama slaw and guacamole are our favorites!). Leftover beans will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
