Yield: 4 servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
2 teaspoons | Chili powder |
1 teaspoon | Cumin |
2 \N | 16 oz cans pinto beans*; rinsed & drained |
½ cup | Chopped red onion |
1 \N | Pickled jalapeno pepper; (to 2), chopped |
4 tablespoons | Warm water; (to 6 tbsp) |
\N \N | Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste |
Toast the chili powder and cumin in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
In a blender or the work bowl of a food processor, combine the beans, onion, jalapeno, and toasted spices. Pulse to make a coarse puree. With the motor running, add warm water to thin to a spreadable consistency. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. (You can also mash the beans with the seasonings in a bowl, using a potato masher.) Use immediately at room temperature or warm the beans in a saucepan over low heat, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes.
May be used as a sandwich spread.
