Borracho Beans


Ingredients

1 lb. dried pinto beans

1 pkg. salt pork

1 cup chopped onion, sauteed in butter

1/2 cup Rotel tomatoes

1 smoked, dried (Chipolte) pepper

salt and pepper


Rinse and soak pinto beans in a large bowl and 4 cups of water, over night. Next day, discard water. Cook beans, covered in fresh water, in a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add salt pork, chipolte pepper, salt and pepper. Cook 2-3 hours until tender. note: Keep beans covered in water! When beans are done remove salt pork and chipolte and discard. Add the sauteed onion, tomatoes and salt/pepper to taste. Simmer on low 30 minutes or until ready to serve.


Great side dish for a Mexican or BBQ meal. Delicious with cornbread too!

  2. Hubby has made those beans (he's the cook in the family) and they are super delicious. You would be appalled (did I spell that right) at my inability to cook.
