Onions: Adds a pungent flavor. I used a yellow onion. You could also use white onion, red onion, or green onions.
Olive oil: For cooking the onions. You could use any high-heat neutral flavored oil.
Black beans: You could also use pinto beans.
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and the adobo sauce: Add a spicy spicy smoky heat. If you are gluten intolerant like I am, make sure to read the labels. Some chipotle in adobo brands have wheat.
Maple syrup: Adds a touch of sweetness. You could also use agave syrup or brown sugar.
Tamari: I used low-sodium gluten-free tamari because I like to control the amount of salt. You could also use soy sauce or liquid aminos.
Vegetable broth: Adds flavor. I like to use low-sodium vegetable broth to control the amount of salt.
Salt and pepper: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.

Step 1: Pour olive oil into a pan. Add chopped onions. Sauté onions on medium heat until translucent.

Step 2: Add black beans, chipotle in adobo sauce, plus some adobo sauce, maple syrup, vegetable broth, tamari, and salt and pepper.

Step 3: Cook until the liquid is dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.

Step 4: Add ingredients to a food processor.

Step 5: Blend until smooth and creamy.

Start with less chipotle peppers if you don't like really spicy foods. You can always add more, but you can't take it away.
When you are mixing the ingredients in a food processor is the perfect time to add more chipotle to your liking.
If you really don't like things very spicy, add only the adobo sauce, and leave out the chipotle peppers.
That's also a great time to add more vegetable broth if you want a thinner consistency.
