Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/8 cup olive oil
1 medium onion -- diced
1 chipotle chile packed in adobo -- minced
1 tbsp. garlic -- chopped
1 tbsp. liquid smoke flavoring
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tbsp. dried parsley
1/2 tbsp. dried cilantro or
1 tbsp. fresh cilantro -- chopped
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup water
1 (16 oz.) can red kidney beans -- drained and rinsed
1 (16 oz.) can cannellini beans -- drained and rinsed
1 (28 oz.) can tomatoes -- chopped w/juice
1 pkg. pie crust mix -- or 1 pre-made pie crust
1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the onion and chiles and cook until the onions are golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add liquid smoke, cumin, coriander, parsley, cilantro, salt, pepper and water and stir well. Cook until the liquid is gone and the onions begin to fry again.
Add the beans and stir well. Cook until the mixture begins to stick to the pan, 6-8 minutes. Add tomatoes, stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, Simmer, stirring often, until the sauce thickens, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature (if the filling is hot it will melt the pie crust during assembly). Add the cheese and stir until well blended.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Prepare pie crust mix according to package directions for 1-9" pie crust. Line 1-9" pie pan with the crust and flute the edges by pinching between your thumb and forefinger. Pour filling mixture into pie crust and cover equally with cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Serve warm, cut into wedges.
