ingredients
-
Enchilada Sauce
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 1⁄4 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3⁄4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons lime juice
-
Bean Dip
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 cup onion, chopped
- 1⁄2 - 1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
- 1 pinch salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 cups pinto beans, cooked or 2 cups pinto beans, canned
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable broth
directions
- Make the sauce: Dump everything but the lime juice into a small sauce pan and bring it to a simmer. Use a whisk to make sure that the tomato paste isn’t just sitting in a clump.
- Let that simmer together for about 8-10 minutes so that the sauce has time to thicken up a little. Add the lime juice and turn off the heat. Cool while you make the rest of the dip.
- Make the dip: Warm up the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over a medium heat. Throw in the onion and sauté until they start to look nice and golden brown in some spots, 5-7 minutes.
- Add the jalapeno, salt, and cumin and sauté for another minute or two so that the jalapeno doesn’t taste raw. Turn off the heat.
- Put half of the beans in a blender and the other half in a medium bowl. Smash the beans in the bowl using a potato masher or a big spoon until there aren’t too many whole ones left.
- In the blender, throw in the broth, remaining oil, 1/3 cup of the enchilada sauce you just made, and half of the cooked onions and jalapeno. Blend until smooth.
- Stir that into the mashed up beans and add the remaining cooked onions and jalapenos. Serve warm with the rest of the enchilada sauce poured on top.
- Top with some chopped cilantro, onions, and tomatoes if you like. Serve with hearty tortilla chips.

<p>I've been a farm wife for more than 30 years, driving tractors and semi-trucks, and raising corn, soybeans, beef cows, and 4 daughters. We are going against big farm trends and diversifying (rather than specializing), adding laying hens, honey bees and milk goats to our farm. I have too many interests, but especially love artistic pursuits, such as pottery, painting, music, gardening,and creative cooking.</p>
