Chipotle Black Bean and Quinoa Crock-Pot Stew

Serves 6-8 (This Recipe is Provided by Tasty Yummies)

Ingredients:
• 1-2 dried chipotle peppers
• 1lb of dried black beans, rinsed and picked over, soaked overnight
• 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and picked over
• 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 red onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 dried cinnamon stick
• 2 teaspoons chile powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
• 7 cups water
• sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
Load all of the ingredients, except the salt, into your slow-cooker, stir to combine. If you wish to saute the onion, garlic, and bell pepper first, you can, but I like to make crock-pot cooking as simple and quick as possible. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or on low for 8 to 10 hours, until the black beans are tender. The time to cook the beans can vary based on the strength of your slow cooker and also the freshness of your beans. Add the salt at the very end, as it will affect how the beans cook if you add it at the beginning. Remove the chipotles (if you don’t want a mouthful of a whole spicy pepper) and the cinnamon stick before serving. Ladle into bowls and serve topped with fresh cilantro, green onions, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, diced avocado, sour cream, hot sauce, tortilla chips, etc.
