1 1/2 cups dry black beans -- rinsed and soaked 6 hours

1 small onion -- diced

1 clove garlic -- finely chopped

1/2 medium chipotle chile -- minced -or-

1 tablespoon smoked chile salsa

16 ounces canned peeled tomatoes -- chopped, juice reserved

1/2 bunch cilantro

1 package grated muenster cheese or Monterey Jack

1 package chile pequins or other dried red chiles
 

Preparation / Directions:


DRAIN THE BEANS and put them in a soup pot with enough cold water to cover by a couple of inches. Bring to a boil and skim off the foam that rises to the surface; then add the onions and the garlic. Lower the heat and cook until the onions are soft, about 15 minutes; add the tomatoes and their juice, the pureed chiles and half the cilantro and lightly salt. Simmer until the beans are tender, an hour or so. Occasionally give them a stir while they're cooking. When done, taste for salt, stir in the remaining cilantro and garnish as desired
