Instructions

  • Heat butter/ghee in a small saucepan pan over medium heat.
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, just a minute or so, then stir in beans, chipotle peppers, ground cumin, then lightly season with sea salt and pepper.
  • Cook stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes, mashing everything together just a bit with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
  • Remove from heat, taste test then adjust seasonings if desired.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine greek yogurt and chopped jalapeños, then add a tiny pinch of sea salt and pepper.
  • Stir well to combine.

  • I sprinkled a few more bits of crumbled bacon as garnish to the top as well.
  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours, then enjoy!
