CROCKPOT MEXICAN BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Turn your crockpot on high and dump the dry black beans in.
• Fill the crockpot with just enough water to cover the beans by an inch.
• Add the rest of the ingredients in and stir to mix.
• Let them cook on high for 30 minutes.
• Add 2 more cups of water and stir again.
• Let the beans continue to cook on high for 3.5 more hours.
• Add one more cup of water and stir.
• Switch your crockpot to low and let it cook for 6-8 hours, or overnight. I cooked mine overnight and woke up to the beautiful aroma of Mexican filling the house!
• Turn the crockpot off and let the beans cool down.
• Once they reach a temperature where they can be handled, scoop two cups of beans into a quart size freezer bag for easy storage. Continue until all the beans are gone from the crockpot.

BEEF 'N' BEAN TORTA

Steps:

• Cut four 20x3-in. strips of heavy-duty foil; crisscross so they resemble spokes of a wheel. Place strips on the bottom and up the sides of a 5-qt. slow cooker. Coat strips with cooking spray., In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, olives, chili powder, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce. Spoon about 1-2/3 cups into prepared slow cooker; top with one tortilla and 1/4 cup cheese. Repeat layers three times., Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until heated through. Using foil strips as handles, remove the tortilla stack to a platter. If desired, sprinkle with cilantro and serve with salsa, sour cream, lettuce and tomatoes.
