These Quick & Easy Chipotle Pinto Beans are a filling side dish that goes well with rice, tacos, veggies, and more. Full of tender beans, sweet tomatoes, and jalapenos, they're truly delicious.

Ingredients

– 1 tbsp. olive oil – 1 small onion, diced – 1 large jalapeno pepper, insides removed and diced – 1 large plum tomato, diced – 2 garlic cloves, minced – ½ tsp. oregano – ½ tsp. cumin powder – ½ tsp. paprika – 28 oz. pinto beans, canned or home-cooked and liquid drained – 1 cup veggie broth – 1 tbsp. lime juice – ⅛ cup chopped cilantro, to garnish

Step 1

In a medium pot or a large skillet, cook the onion and jalapeno pepper in olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Then add the tomatoes, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, and salt, and cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

At this point, add the pinto beans and veggie broth. Cover with a lid, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Once the beans are done, smash some of them with a spoon to add a creamy consistency to the remaining veggie broth. (You can add some extra broth, if needed).

Step 5

Lastly, add the lime juice and stir well. Serve, garnished with fresh cilantro.
