Season the dip with some salt and pepper to taste and serve with pita bread.
Take a 500 gram can of pinto beans. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add a sliced shallot and fry it until it is soft and starting to smell. Add the beans and a half to a whole chipotle chile pepper (depending on how spicy you want your food to be). Add 70 ml of bean liquid and cook, mashing the mixture with a pestle, until the beans form a thick paste. Then spread the pasta on some tortillas and top them with peppers and grated cheese. Then bake the tortillas until the cheese has melted.
Take a 500 gram can of black beans. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add a peeled and grated sweet potato and a finely chopped garlic clove. Season it with salt and pepper. Bake until the sweet potato is soft and starting to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the beans and a handful of crumbled cheese. Take another bowl and beat two large eggs in it. Add some salt to it. Fry the eggs in the skillet for two minutes. Divide half of the bean mixture over the omelet and fold the omelet in half. Repeat the same with two more eggs and the other half of the bean mixture.
Take two 500 gram cans of black beans. Place them in a food processor along with 35 grams of breadcrumbs, a large egg, a teaspoon of smoked paprika, a teaspoon of cumin, a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of pepper and a quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Stir everything together and turn on the food processor briefly to knead everything together. Divide the dough into five burgers about 2 centimeters thick and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the burgers, pressing them gently with a spatula until they are brown on both sides. This will take about 6 minutes per side. Serve the burgers on buns with toppings of your choice. Tip:barbecue sauce goes well with the taste of the beans!
