Essentially Chipotle's black bean recipe with added chipotle pepper in mole to spice it up. Great served as a side dish topped with crema and green onions. To make this into a black bean soup, reserve all of the liquid in the cans and blend half of the cooked beans.

Black beans one of the most versatile bean next to chickpeas on the planet, well I think so anyhow..... just saying!!! Lol By the way you may ask why summer savory? Well it just so happens that it is an anti-gas herb so if you don't want the embarrassing problems of gas, just add summer savory it helps out a bunch.

Did you know that black beans are actually purple? They contain a pigment called anthocyanin, which are also found in red cabbage and blue berries, and which aid in the prevention cell and tissue damage, in the form of oxidation. Not only that, black beans are also a great source of protein and fiber which promote digestion and heart health.Note:* You can substitute can black beans for freshly made ones.**You can substitute dried cilantro for fresh one.#CA2025

I, for the life of me, cannot cook beans on the stovetop without them being crunchy or mushy. The crockpot cooks them perfectly!

When there’s a little bit of dry black beans, a few baby Limas, and a tad bit of pintos left and there’s not enough of one to cook for a meal. Ya mix’em all together! Throw in some ham, a lil bit’o onion and garlic…. Yum! Tasty!

This is a delicious, savory, quick meal that my mom used to make when I was little and it even won a local contest once. It's great with a salad and some hot buttered bread. Enjoy!

Almost like a Mexican Rice-a-Roni without vermicelli

Lots of ingredients for lots of flavor.
