MAMMAK'S PINTO BEANS WITH GROUND BEEF



MammaK's Pinto Beans with Ground Beef image

My mother made this recipe for pinto beans with ground beef for us as kids and I have used it many times in feeding my 4 boys. When the space shuttle fell, our small town filled up overnight with searchers for the space shuttle debris, and this is one of the recipes that I used to help feed the masses. It was a hit every time. We served it with cornbread and a side salad for a complete meal or over a bed of rice. My mom would top off a bowl of this with homemade sweet salsa. Yum!

HEARTY BEAN NACHOS WITH SPICY SALSA



Hearty Bean Nachos With Spicy Salsa image

According to Dr. Adalberto Peña de los Santos, the director of the International Nacho Festival, in Piedras Negras, Mexico, there are three timeless nacho essentials: crispy corn tortilla chips, mounds of melted cheese and at least one chile. If you want to go big, here are some unofficial guidelines: Nacho toppings should be good enough to stand on their own, the nachos should be saucy (maybe even messy) and they should be so delicious together that you can't have just one bite. In this recipe, nachos take a vegetarian turn, with buttery pinto beans, tender carrots or sweet potatoes (or both), and a tomato-and-tomatillo salsa. Melty cheese, Mexican crema and chopped onion and cilantro take it over the top.

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/2 pounds ripe Roma tomatoes (about 5 or 6)
1/2 pound tomatillos (about 3 or 4), husked and rinsed
1 to 2 jalapeños, destemmed
1 to 2 chiles de árbol, destemmed
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro, leaves and upper stems, plus 1 cup reserved for garnish
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher or sea salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 cups (1/2-inch) diced peeled carrot or sweet potato (or a combination)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup finely chopped white onion, plus 1/2 cup reserved for garnish
1 cup finely chopped celery
1 1/2 cups cooked, drained pinto beans (from about 3/4 cup dried beans or a 15-ounce can)
1 to 1 1/2 pounds store-bought or Homemade Tortilla Chips (see recipe)
1 pound shredded cheese (any combination of Oaxaca, Monterey Jack and Cheddar)
1 cup Mexican crema

Steps:

  • Prepare the salsa: Place the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeños, chiles de árbol and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cover with at least 6 cups water and bring to a simmer over medium-high. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the tomatoes and tomatillos are cooked through and mushy, the jalapeños have softened and the chiles de árbol have plumped up, about 10 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked vegetables to a blender, setting aside the cooking liquid. Add the cilantro, cumin and 3/4 teaspoon salt to the blender; purée until smooth.
  • Prepare the vegetables: Bring the reserved vegetable cooking liquid back to a simmer over medium-high heat and season generously with salt. Once it comes to a boil, add the carrots or sweet potatoes, or both, and cook until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour the cooked vegetables into a colander, discarding liquid, and set aside.
  • Wipe the saucepan dry, then add 1 tablespoon oil and heat over medium. Once the oil is hot, pour in the salsa, partly cover it with the lid, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the color has deepened, 8 to 10 minutes. Set salsa aside.
  • Prepare the beans: In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium. Once hot, add the onion and celery, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 8 minutes, until completely softened. Raise the heat to high, add the cooked carrots and/or sweet potatoes, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring a couple times, until beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the pinto beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed, another 3 to 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt, then remove from the heat.
  • Assemble the nachos: Set a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400 degrees. Place all the tortilla chips in a half sheet pan or large baking sheet. Cover the chips with the bean mixture, ladle the salsa all over the top and cover with shredded cheese. Bake until cheese has completely melted, about 10 minutes.
  • Spoon the crema over the top and garnish with reserved cilantro and chopped white onion. Serve hot!

PINTO BEAN SOUP WITH FRESH SALSA



Pinto Bean Soup With Fresh Salsa image

Despite its creamy taste, this simply prepared soup is surprisingly low in fat. A cantina cook might well make up a batch from the previous day's leftover beans. It is the perfect antidote to a blustery day, and the fresh, sharp garnish contrasts nicely with the natural richness of the beans.

Time 3h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups dried pinto beans
7 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the smallest bean is cooked through and creamy inside, about 1 ½ hours. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them stand for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans: Pinto beans are a classic choice for salsa pinto beans, but you can also use other types of beans, such as black beans, kidney beans, or white beans. Using a variety of beans will add different flavors and textures to your salsa.
  • Don't overcook the beans: Overcooked beans will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook the beans until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and peppers. If you don't have access to fresh ingredients, you can use canned or frozen vegetables.
  • Season to taste: Salsa pinto beans should be flavorful, but not too spicy. Season the salsa to taste with salt, pepper, and cumin. You can also add other spices, such as chili powder or cayenne pepper, if you like.

Conclusion:

Salsa pinto beans is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a dip, a side dish, or a main course. It is a great way to use up leftover beans, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious salsa pinto beans that your whole family will enjoy.
