This hearty side dish pairs inexpensive dried beans with chipotle chiles in adobo which give it a wonderful smokiness. It’s always a good idea to soak dried beans before you cook them since soaking helps to soften them, allowing the beans to cook more quickly. The time it takes for dried beans to cook depends on the type of bean, how old they are, and how long they have been soaked, so it's a good idea to start checking the beans for doneness after about 50 minutes of cooking time. And once they reach the desired tenderness, drain them immediately to halt the cooking process and prevent overcooking.
