Instructions

0 chop onion

1 First, make the mayo. Throw all those mayo ingredients in your blender or food processor

and run that mother er on high for about a minute so everything is good and mixed. Taste

and see if you want more hot sauce. Pour this all in a cup or bowl and store it in the fridge

until you need it. It will thicken in there, just be patient.

2 Next, make the beans. Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Throw in the

onion and sauté it until it starts to look golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili

powder, and cumin and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the beans and broth and stir that

up. Let it come to a simmer and then turn down the heat real low. Using a potato masher

or big-ass spoon, smash up all those beans as best you can. Think chunky guacamole. Add the

lime juice and then taste. Add some salt or more spices if that’s the kinda you’re into.

Now turn off the heat and make a torta.

3 Grab a toasted roll and smear with a bunch of the coconut chipotle mayo. Pile a ton of

the beans on the bottom half. In between, add whateverthe you want. Lettuce, tomatoes,

red onion, and some avocado are some time-tested choices, but be creative and . Serve right

away with some extra hot sauce.

Modifications

Yeah, chia seeds, like the chia pet. They are rich in omega-3s and full of fiber. If you can’t find them,

flaxseeds are an OK sub.

Two 15-ounce cans will do if you are in a rush.
