    How to Prepare Saucy Chipotle Black Beans [Vegan]

    1. Heat a pot to medium high and add the onions. Saute for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
    2. Mix in the chipotle pepper and salsa and then add the coconut milk and maple syrup.
    3. Lower the heat and cover so the sauce simmers and thickens slightly (about 10 minutes).
    4. Add the 3 cups of black beans and heat through.
    5. Simmer further to reduce the sauce if desired.
    6. Serve in bowls with extra salsa and other garnishes or serve over rice or quinoa.

    Notes

    • This dish makes a satisfying bowl of creamy black beans, but you can also simmer and reduce it further to make a dip or taco filling.
    • To reheat frozen, creamy black beans, allow them to thaw and then simmer them, covered, in a saucepan for at least 15 minutes to reduce the extra moisture.
    • Be mindful of the heat of your salsa before adding the chipotle peppers. You may want to reduce the amount of the peppers or add a bit and then more after the beans cook a bit.
