• 1 more chipotle peppers depending on how spicy you want it
• 1 clove garlic chopped
• pepper oregano, paprika, cumin, and salt to taste.

Directions

Prepare the beans according to package directions.

1. Add the soyrizo to a large pot and cook until cooked through.
2. After about 5 minutes, add the seasonings (including the garlic).
3. Add the tomatoes, the cilantro, the onion, the jalapeno, and the chipotle pepper and cook for 5 additional minutes.
4. Finally, add the cooked pinto beans and the water that they were cooked in and let boil for about 15 minutes so that all of the flavors can combine.
