Spicy Black Beans With Chipotle Mayonnaise Spread Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, salt, chile powder and cayenne and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chiles, beans and broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans have softened and the sauce has thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro leaves and Cotija.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to use.
• Place beans in a small bow and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add egg, bread crumbs, adobo sauce, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne (if using), salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Form into one-ounce patties - about 2 tablespoons per patty - by rolling mixture into a ball, packing together firmly, then flattening slightly.
• Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat. Working in batches so that the burgers aren't too crowded, cook one one side until browned - about 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
• Remove patties to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and cool slightly.
• Put slider buns sliced-side up on a cookie sheet. Add black bean patties to the bottom halves of the buns and top with cheese. Place under oven broiler until cheese has melted and buns are golden brown, about one minute (depending on your broiler - just watch carefully!)
• Remove from oven and slather chipotle mayo on the inside of the bun tops. Top burgers with red onions and pickles, sandwich with the bun top, and secure with a toothpick or skewer. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Stir together mayonnaise, sour cream (or yogurt) and chipotle in a small bowl; set aside.
• Combine black beans slightly mashed, chopped onion, cilantro, garlic, chili powder, cumin and lime juice in a large bowl.
• Stir all the ingredients until mixture holds together and season with salt to taste.
• Serve with crackers as a dip or spread on sandwiches or pita breads cut in halves and top with shredded lettuce, sliced avocados and tomatoes. Serve within 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium high heat. Add onions, garlic and chipotle pepper. Stir and saute 5 to 7 minutes or until onion softens.
• Add cumin, oregano and adobo sauce (if using), stirring to awaken herb flavors, about 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium and stir in refried beans. Splash salsa or Rotel around beans and stir to combine.
• Reduce heat to low and continue to cook beans, stirring occasionally, until warm throughout, 5 to 10 more minutes. Serve with tortilla chips for dipping.
