Time 8h15m

Yield 16 to 18 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pounds dried pinto beans
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 green bell peppers, seeded and diced
2 orange bell peppers, seeded and diced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
1 onion, diced
1 ham hock (or 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into pieces)
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the beans in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Set them aside and let them soak for 5 to 6 hours or overnight.
  • Drain and rinse the beans, and then place them in a large pot. Add the garlic, green, orange and red bell peppers and the onions. Cover them with about an inch of water, and then add the ham hock or bacon. Next add the chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir to combine, and then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans until tender, about 2 hours. Check the liquid level about halfway through the cooking process; if you'd prefer the beans to be less soupy, you can ladle off about a third of the cooking liquid.

FIESTA BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS



Fiesta Black Bean Quesadillas image

I found this on a healthy lifestyle website somewhere and adapted it to our taste. They were very good and filling. I made a triple batch of the salsa and a double batch of the quesadillas, as the recipe is more of a snack or lunch size serving. The salsa was good on the quesadillas, but I think it could use some additional seasoning. I'll likely play around with it and update it here if I like the results.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup chopped tomato
3 tablespoons chopped red onions
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno (or to taste)
3 tablespoons diced red bell peppers
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
salt
fresh ground pepper
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 cup chopped red onion
3/4 cup chopped tomato
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon adobo seasoning (Mexican seasoning with oregano, cumin, and other seasonings)
salt
fresh ground pepper
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup low-fat monterey jack cheese
nonfat sour cream, as desired (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Make the salsa by combining all the ingredients together. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use (may be made up to 2 days ahead).
  • Heat oven to 200* F.
  • Combine the beans, cilantro, onions, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, adobo, salt and pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.
  • Lay tortillas flat. Place 1/8 of the cheese on one half of each tortilla. Top with 1/4 of the bean mixture, then with 1/8 of the cheese. Fold tortilla in half to cover filling.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Cook one quesadilla at a time, taking care not to spill while cooking or turning (use two spatulas when turning over), until lightly browned on both sides and cheese is melty.
  • Transfer each quesadilla to oven when finished to keep warm while cooking the remaining quesadillas.
  • Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges; serve hot with sour cream and salsa.
