Baracho Beans

Raised in South Texas in a family of 6, this dish was a staple growing up. It is inexpensive and oh so yummy! My mother would serve this with a batch of biscuits and there was nothing left when we were through. It is still one of my favorite comfort meals to this day.

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.GB cooks
