Ingredients

Coconut Oil Cooking Spray, enough to coat the bottom of the slow cooker
2 cups Coconut Milk
1 cup Orange Juice, pulp free
1 cup Canned Pineapple, diced with juice
1 cup Boiling Water, preferrably filtered
16 ounces Black Beans, dry
Lime Zest, from one whole lime
Fresh Lime Juice, from 2 whole limes
1 ounce Canned Jalapeño Peppers, diced
1/2 large White Onion, diced
3/4 cup Fresh Cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons Cumin
1 tablespoon Coriander Powder
4 cloves Garlic
Organic Agave Nectar, to taste (3 tablespoons recommended)
Sea Salt, to taste (3 tablespoons recommended)
Lemon Pepper, to taste (1 tablespoon recommended)

Directions

Place dried beans in a pot with water enough to cover and soak 8-12 hours.
Strain the water out of the beans in a colander.
Rinse with cold water and discard any beans that are broken or discolored.
Place all ingredients into your crock-pot … order is irrelevant.
Cover and cook on “high” for 6-8 hours.
After the 3^rd hour, check beans and stir once per hour until your desired softness is reached.
Let the beans cool for about an hour.
Mash beans with a potato masher.
Serve warm.

Notes

In case you added too many jalapeños, make sure to have some sour cream around to quell the fire!
Garnishing spicy black beans with a dollop of sour cream and chopped green-tail onions never hurt anybody… I’m just saying… except maybe a vegan.. HAA! Oh, and if you’re not vegan, feel free to throw in Mexican Blend shredded cheese or even some sour cream to the crock pot at hour 5 and be sure to stir it in well.
