Black Bean Amd Jalopena Sauce

This spicy Mexican sauce can be served

 as a hot or cold dip, or used to enhance

 tortilla filling, gorditas, and tostaditas.

Ingredients
1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
14½ ounce (425 g) canned black beans, rinsed, drained
½ cup (80 g) onion, peeled, diced
3 garlic cloves, peeled
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 jalapeño, seeded
½ cup (75 g) red bell pepper, seeded, stemmed, diced
½ cup (75 g) yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ cup (60 ml) water

Directions

Heat a Sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the next 5 ingredients. Sauté for 5 minutes. Set aside.
Place remaining ingredients and half of the sautéed mixture into the Vitamix container and secure lid.
Select Variable 1.
Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.
Blend for 4-5 minutes or until heavy steam escapes from the vented lid.
If sauce is getting too thick (sauce should be spreadable) add a little more water or broth.
Reduce speed to Variable 4 or 5 and remove the lid plug. Add remaining sautéed mixture through the lid plug opening.
Blend for an additional 5 seconds.
