Borracho Beans......Low Carb, Keto Friendly & Yummy

This morning I needed comfort food, but I wanted to stay within my low carb lifestyle. For me that means tacos and beans. But beans while healthy are not low carb friendly. I have found a solution that works for all low carb lifestyles, Eden's Organic Black Soybeans. Full of fiber, high in nutrients and protein with great texture and flavor. These little gems absorb whatever flavor you add to them. I use them in my chili, for refried beans and now borracho beans. They are a great addition to any meal.

Carb-less Borracho Beans

1 can (15 oz) Eden's Organic Black Soybeans
1 tsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken base
20 g tomato paste
1 large jalapeno, seeds removed, chopped
40 g onions, chopped
1 T butter (or cooking oil of choice)
Spices: garlic powder, onion powder, chipotle powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper

In medium saucepan over medium heat, saute onions and jalapeno until onions are clear or to desired doneness. Add in remaining ingredients and stir together.

I do not measure my seasonings. I just sprinkle them over the top, lightly at first and taste. Then adjust. I use just a pinch of chipotle powder because it's super hot. Always adjust to your taste though.

Cover the saucepan and bring up heat to just boiling, then reduce and simmer for 20 minutes. Add a little water if too thick. Eat warm with your favorite tacos or proteins.
