Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Add 1 chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Toss in 1 to 2 diced bell peppers of your choice. Cook for another 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and chopped cilantro stems, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle in spices.
- Add 1 to 2 minced chipotle peppers and 2 cans of drained black beans to the skillet. Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
- Mash about one-third of the beans against the pan to create a thicker texture.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and the juice and zest of 1 lime, adjusting salt to taste.
- Blend 1 cup of yogurt, 1 ripe avocado, vinegar, lime juice and zest in a blender until smooth.
- Serve the black bean mixture over cooked rice drizzled with the creamy sauce and garnish with cilantro.

Notes
Rinse canned beans before use to reduce sodium content. Allow beans to simmer longer for deeper flavors. Use parsley or green onions as herb substitutes if desired.
