ingredients
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained
- 1 carrot
- 1⁄3 medium tomatoes
- 2 serrano peppers
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- onion
- garlic
- 1⁄2 medium red bell pepper
- cumin

- smoked paprika
- crushed red pepper flakes
- fresh ground black pepper

directions
- In a blender or food processor (I used a magic bullet) blend the canned beans to desired consistency - you might need to add some water.
- In a pan, sauté the garlic, onion, peppers, carrot, and tomato in olive oil (adding them periodically in that order).
- Once cooked and mushy, blend the veggies until smooth.
- Combine the blended veggies and blended beans in a pot.
- Add smoked paprika and black pepper to taste.
- Add the lime juice.
- Simmer for 30 minutes.
- The beans will turn a darker shade of black- at that point add oregano, red pepper flakes, and liberal amounts of cumin.
- Serve hot! Goes well with fried plantains.
