Ingredients

  • 1 lb Pinto Beans, dry (2 1/2 cups)
  • 7 cups Water or Low Sodium Broth
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Adobo Powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp Oregano, dried (Mexican oregano is best)
  • 1 7 oz can Diced Green Chilis
  • 3-4 Garlic Cloves, chopped

Instructions

  • Rinse and sort the pinto beans. Add to the slow cooker.
  • Add all remaining ingredients to the slow cooker and stir.
  • Put the lid on and cook on High for 5 hours, or Low for 8 hours.
  • When done, use an immersion blender to puree the beans. You could use a potato masher if you like the beans coarser.
