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)

Instructions
 

  • 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 3rd 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.
