Place the beans, onion and garlic mixture, water, cumin, red pepper, chili powder, smoked paprika, and chipotle sauce into your power blender (such as a
Blendtec or
Vitamix), secure lid and blend on high (about 30-45 seconds) until chunky. Blend longer for a puree (depending on how you like it, I prefer a little chew). Use a tamper if needed.
