| 1. In a blender or food processor (I used a magic bullet) blend the canned beans to desired consistency - you might need to add some water. | 2. In a pan, sauté the garlic, onion, peppers, carrot, and tomato in olive oil (adding them periodically in that order). | 3. Once cooked and mushy, blend the veggies until smooth. | 4. Combine the blended veggies and blended beans in a pot. | 5. Add smoked paprika and black pepper to taste. | 6. Add the lime juice. | 7. Simmer for 30 minutes. | 8. The beans will turn a darker shade of black- at that point add oregano, red pepper flakes, and liberal amounts of cumin. | 9. Serve hot! Goes well with fried plantains. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
