Steps:
- In a slow cooker on high heat, add beans and water.
- On a griddle on high heat, toast avocado leaves for a few seconds on each side, until aroma is released. Using fingers, crumble into bean pot, along with epazote.
- In a large frying pan on medium heat, sauté onions and bell peppers in oil until soft, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, chipotle, and cumin and sauté for 1 minute. Transfer mixture to bean pot. Cook beans on high for 4-6 hours or low 6-9 hours, or until skins are soft and insides are creamy. Add salt and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes. Before serving, stir in sour orange juice and garnish with cilantro leaves.
