[Sock Puppet]

I tried this one out yesterday. I used just adobo* rather than chipotles en adobo (my allegedly Mexican wife is a wimp about chiles), and I used an amber ale rather than getting a Mexican lager, but other than that followed this straight up. Too much salt; even using salt-free kidney beans, it turned out too salty. Other than that, this turned out pretty well. Will try it again with half the salt and moar peppers.



*Pro Tip: When using the Adobo from those jars with the pop-off metal lid, exercise extreme caution. I had to do battle with the jar and scored at best a Pyrrhic victory. That stuff combines the worst of staining and oiliness to make it an absolute bitch to clean off of everything it comes into contact with -- especially when, as it did in my case, it comes into contact with ... everything. I thought molé was the staining champ. This stuff is 10 times worse.
