JALAPENO PINTO BEANS RECIPES

Steps:

• Place pinto beans into a large pot and pour in enough water to cover by 2 to 3 inches. Let beans soak overnight.
• Drain beans, return to pot, and pour in fresh water to cover; add diced tomatoes, bacon, onion, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 hours.
• Stir cilantro and salt into bean mixture; simmer until beans are soft, about 1 more hour.

Steps:

• Wash and sort the pinto beans to remove any debris.
• Place the beans in a large bowl and cover with water. Soak for 6 hours, adding more water as necessary to keep the beans submerged.
• drain the beans and transfer to a large pot. Cover by two inches with water and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot and simmer the beans for 2 hours, until very tender.
• Drain the beans, reserving 2 cups of the cooking liquid.
• First, heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil just to coat the surface of the pan. Swirl the pan to coat with the oil. When the oil shimmers, it’s hot enough.
• Add the garlic and jalapenos and cook for 5 minutes, stirring.
• Add the beans and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup bean cooking liquid and bring to a simmer. Add the lime juice and paprika and cook until the water is mostly gone and the beans are very soft. Season to taste with salt and if you like, puree or mash the refried beans.
