RANCHERO BEANS
Mexican style beans with the most delicious broth. I never bother to soak these beans, or pour off the first boil of water. This is the way we've cooked Mexican beans in my family for generations. But, if you're a stickler for bean ritual, feel free to presoak, et cetera, to your heart's content.

Steps:
- Combine 5 cups water and next 7 ingredients in heavy large pot. Gently simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until beans are tender and liquid is reduced enough to cover beans by 1 inch, adding more water if necessary and stirring occasionally, about 2 1/2 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
- Garnish beans with cotija cheese, chopped tomato and cilantro.
Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible. You can also use a quick-soak method by boiling the beans for 3 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them soak for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of beans: This will add flavor and texture to your dish. Some good options include pinto beans, black beans, kidney beans, and navy beans.
- Add aromatics: Aromatics, such as onions, garlic, and celery, will help to enhance the flavor of your beans. You can also add other vegetables, such as carrots, peppers, and corn.
- Season your beans: Season your beans with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Cook your beans until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of beans you are using. Pinto beans, for example, will take about 1 hour to cook, while black beans will take about 1.5 hours.
