6 c (already prepared) pinto beans still in its juice.
4 slice bacon chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 c fresh chopped tomatoes or one 14 oz. canned, diced tomatoes with sauce
3 jalapenos, chopped
2 chipotles in adobo, chopped
1 c chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • 1. Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp.
  • 2. Add tomatoes, jalapenos, chipotles and cilantro to the skillet, and cook on medium for 10 minutes.
  • 3. Let tomato-bacon mixture cool, add one cup of bean juice (or water) and then puree.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the beans and the corn, and they don't even notice the spinach.
