Notes
Tips & Tricks: If you prefer to not have the texture of the onions, pre cook them after processing with 1 tablespoon of olive oil (which you can do right in the slow cooker, just turn it on high).
With the length of cooking time, you may want to add the beans in the last hour of cooking if you prefer less mushy beans.
Chipotles in adobo get quite hot! If you prefer less heat, cut back to 1 chipotle chili. Also, if you have leftover chipotles in adobo sauce, freeze them in small portions to use in recipes later.
