Add the chile purée, toasted ground cumin, toasted (or dried) oregano, onions, carrot, garlic, jalapeños, and chicken thighs. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, skimming any foam. Remove the chicken thighs when cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, pull the meat from the bones into large pieces and set aside; discard the bones. Continue cooking the beans until tender, another 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Return the chicken to the pot to heat it thoroughly. Season with the salt, adding more to taste. Serve in bowls topped with the grated cheese.

• Add oregano and cumin to the onions/garlic and cook for 1 minute to bring out the flavors in the spices.
• Add beans, broth, and seasoned salt. Bring to a decent boil and let cook about 2 hours.
• Through in the chopped chicken (raw) to the boiling beans and continue to cook at least 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. I normally let this cook even longer, about an hour with the chicken because it breaks down a little bit more. But it's really not needed and a lot of people prefer the chicken in larger pieces.
• Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream and cilantro. Serve with your favorite chips if you'd like.
