Ingredients

3 cans Black beans
1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes (I like Muir Glen organic tomatoes)
1 Diced Chipotle chili pepper (from a jar of Chipotles in Adobo Sauce - or substitute a pinch of ground Chipotle chile powder)
1-2 t Olive oil
1 lb. Very lean ground beef (less than 10% fat)
1 Large red onion, very finely diced
1 t Or more regular chile powder (I used Penzeys, other brands may say New Mexico chile powder or Mexican chile powder)
1 t Or more ground Ancho chile pepper (also Penzeys, Ancho chile powder adds great flavor, but can use more regular chile powder)
Pinch ground Chipotle chile peppers (also from Penzeys, Chipotles are smoked jalapenos, and the ground chipotle is very hot so use sparingly)
2 tsp. Ground cumin or more
2 cups Homemade beef stock or 1 can beef broth
1-2 t Tomato paste (I used Amore Tomato Paste which comes in a tube, a product I received to sample that I'm really loving)
1/4 cup + 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 4 limes)
1 bunch Cilantro, chopped
2 Avocados, finely diced
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste (I didn't use any salt)
