Categories     Bean     Vegetarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 27 1/4 C servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

•1 cup dried pinto beans
•3 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped (about 2 1/2 cups)
•1 small white onion, chopped (about 3/4 cup)
•2 to 3 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped (about 1/3 cup)
•3/4 packed cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, divided
•Juice of 2 limes, divided
•1/2 tsp sea salt, plus additional to taste, divided
•Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
•2 ripe avocados, pitted and peeled
•6 oz reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated (about 1½ cups)
•1 1/2 cups reduced-fat sour cream

Steps:

  • 1.Rinse beans in a colander and pick through, discarding any debris or small stones. Place in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover beans. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and let beans rest for 1 hour. Drain beans in a colander and rinse. Wash saucepan, return beans to saucepan and add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low to maintain a steady simmer. Cover and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are very tender. Reserve about 2/3 cup cooking liquid, drain beans and set aside to cool. (Or, cover and refrigerate beans in their cooking liquid for up to 4 days. Reserve 2/3 cup liquid and drain before proceeding with recipe.) 2.In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, jalapeños and about two-thirds of cilantro. Squeeze juice of 1 lime over tomato mixture and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper. Set aside. 3.In a food processor or blender, combine avocados, remaining cilantro and remaining juice of 1 lime. Purée until slightly chunky. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside. 4.Place beans and 1/3 cup reserved cooking liquid in a food processor (or use a powerful blender or mash by hand with a potato masher). Process until you have a slightly chunky purée, adding additional cooking liquid, 1 tbsp at a time, as needed to reach desired consistency. Add 1/2 tsp salt and black pepper. Pulse several times to combine. Transfer beans to a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish or large glass bowl and spread into an even layer. 5.Sprinkle cheese evenly over beans. Dollop scoops of avocado mixture over cheese and use a spatula to spread into a thin layer. Dollop scoops of sour cream over avocado and spread into a thin layer. With a slotted spoon (to drain any liquid), spread tomato mixture evenly over sour cream. Serve immediately or cover and chill for up to 4 hours.
