- 1 large celery stalk, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped with seeds
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Quick Tip
Beans made from scratch have better flavor, but the cooking can take hours. Canned beans are a solid alternative, if you rinse
and drain them well.
