Instructions
Remove and reserve the flavor packet from the soup mix. Soak the beans in water for 24 hours. Drain the water, rinse and drain again. Coat the slow cooker with some cooking spray. Add the beans and the flavor packet. Add the canned tomatoes (with the juice) and broth or water.
In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and green chilies and cook for another minute. Add to the slow cooker with the beans. Cook on low for 8 – 10 hours or until the beans are soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add chipotle puree to taste if you want more spice. Keep warm.
Line a plate with paper towels. Cut the tortillas into 8 wedges each. Pour enough vegetable oil into a large skillet to coat the bottom by about 1/8 of an inch. Heat the oil over high heat until very hot. Fry the tortillas, a few at a time, until browned and crispy, 1- 2 minutes per side. Place on the paper lined plate and sprinkle with a little salt. Repeat with remaining tortillas until all are cooked. Stir the cooked tortillas into the black bean mixture and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
Fry the eggs to your liking and serve on a plate of chilaquiles if desired.
