1 tablespoon olive oil (or rice bran oil (see notes))
1 medium yellow onion (finely diced)
16 ounces dried pinto beans (rinsed and sorted)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
2 cloves garlic (minced)

2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (plus 2 teaspoons sauce (see notes))
6 cups water ((enough to cover beans))

In a large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
To the pot add beans, cumin, oregano, garlic, bay leaf, chipotle chilies, and adobo sauce. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender, about 2 hours.
