Ingredients
- 1/2 pound of bacon, diced
- 3/4 cup white onion, chopped
- 8 cloves of garlic
- 4 jalapeño peppers, seeds removed and diced
- 2 or 3 cans black beans (15-ounce)
- Cilantro
Instructions
- In a hot skillet, preferably cast iron, cook diced bacon until it begins to crisp. About ten minutes.
- Add diced onion, minced garlic and chopped jalapeños. Sauté over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Stir until everything softens. Add the tomato and cook for a few minutes until it begins to fall apart.
- Add the black beans and sauté until the mixture thickens, about 7 to 10 minutes. Add salt, pepper and cilantro to taste.
- Using an immersion blander, puree the beans until mostly smooth. Leave a few identifiable whole and partial beans. Continue to cook over medium heat for six or seven more minutes.
- Allow to cool before serving.
Note: Serve with sour cream and pico de gallo. Great on Chicken Tostadas.
