PINTO BEANS WITH MEXICAN-STYLE SEASONINGS



Pinto Beans With Mexican-Style Seasonings image

Pinto beans are simmered with onion, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and garlic. I love making these beans just because they make the whole house smell so good, and the longer they simmer the better they taste. You could add 1/2 can of beer to make 'borracho' beans. I personally taste-test throughout the entire cooking process and add extra seasoning as I feel it needs it. These beans could simmer all day long; just make sure they have plenty of water to keep the beans covered.

NEW MEXICAN STYLE PINTO BEANS RECIPE - (3.9/5)



New Mexican Style Pinto Beans Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by scottsdalejulie

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups dried pinto beans
water
1/4 pound salt pork
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon oregano (preferably Mexican oregano)

Steps:

  • *Soak beans in water overnight. With a sharp knife, make several slashes into, but not all the way through, the salt pork. Pour off soaking water and add fresh water to cover by at least one inch. Add the salt pork, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Simmer on low heat at least 4 hours or until water is absorbed and mixture is thick. *Dried beans cook faster if they are soaked. Cover beans with 2 inches of water, soak them overnight, drain, and then cook according to your recipe. A shortcut to overnight soaking is to cover the beans with plenty of water, bring them to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Then, turn off the heat, cover tightly, and let them sit for 1 hour. Then, drain and cook as usual.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight or for at least 6 hours before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for cooking the beans. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the beans from sticking.
  • Add a bay leaf, onion, and garlic to the pot when cooking the beans. These ingredients will help to flavor the beans and add depth of flavor.
  • Season the beans with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder, paprika, or oregano, to taste.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender but still hold their shape. This will usually take about 1-2 hours, depending on the type of beans you are using.
  • While the beans are cooking, you can prepare the pork. Season the pork with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Brown the pork in a skillet over medium heat. Once the pork is browned, add it to the pot with the beans.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
  • Serve the pork and beans with rice, tortillas, or bread.

Conclusion:
