Ingredients
For 6 people
- 32 ounce(s) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 16 ounce(s) stewed or diced tomatoes, un-drained
- 2 ounce(s) scallions, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup(s) fresh cilantro or parsley leaves
- 1 juice of lemon
- 1 teaspoon(s) chili powder
- 1 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 ripe plum tomatoes cut into large chunks
- 15 pitted black olives
- 8 tablespoon(s) chopped mild green chilies (fresh or canned), optional

Directions
Combine the beans, canned tomatoes, scallions, and cilantro or parsley in a food processor or blender and process until well pureed. Transfer to a large serving container and stir in the lemon juice, chili powder, and cumin.
Place the green pepper and fresh tomatoes in the food processor and pulse on and off 2 or 3 times. Add the olives and pulse on and off quickly, 2 or 3 times more, or until the vegetables are finely chopped (approximately 1/4-inch pieces).
Stir into the bean puree, then add the chilies if desired. Stir in enough stock or water to achieve a medium-thick consistency. Serve at once or cover and refrigerate until needed.
