Chipotles start out life as a fully ripened red jalapeno, then they get dried, smoked, and stored in a tangy adobo sauce. Take a taste for seasoning, adding more salt and lime if you want. A dash of acidity from the lime really brightens it up so don't skimp on that step! The can is versatile: you can use just the adobo sauce in recipes to add a mild smoky complexity.

Why canned instead of dried beans? I find that the cook time for dried beans (especially large ones like butter beans) can vary quite drastically depending on the age, size and quality of the beans. Which means for dishes like this, sometimes the beans are done before the pork is, sometimes they are still hard when the pork is done. It’s not too bad pulling the pork out and leaving the beans to cook for longer. But it is a pain to take the beans out to continue cooking the pork! So, canned is my preference here.
