4 pasilla (also called poblano) peppers
1/3 cup finely diced onion
1/3 diced red or green bell pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 can black beans, drained

Heat broiler in oven. Roast pasilla pepper under broiler until lightly blackened and blistered. Place peppers in paper sack and seal. Let them sweat and cool for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, saute onion and bell pepper in olive oil until soft. Add black beans and mash a small portion of them. Heat and reserve.
