Time 2h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs dry pinto beans
3/4 lb hickory smoked bacon
2 cups roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic
1 tablespoon cumin powder
1 tablespoon chili powder (not a blend)
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
1/2 tablespoon fresh ground pepper
4 cups water
8 cups water

Steps:

Wash and clean the beans, then bring them to a boil in 4 cups of water.
Cook them for 2 minutes, remove from the stove, cover and let them sit for an hour.
In a skillet, toast the cumin and chile powder over a medium high heat until they become fragrant (takes seconds).
Put the spices aside and rinse the skillet.
Cook the bacon in the skillet, saving the fat.
Remove the bacon and add the onions and garlic, and saute them for a minute.
Seed and chop the tomatoes and chop the bacon.
When the beans have soaked an hour, drain them, and add 8 cups of fresh water and all the other ingredients, except the salt.
Bring the beans to a boil, cover, cut the heat to low, and simmer them for about an hour.
Remove the lid and check to see there's enough water, which should be about an inch above the beans and stay that way, then add the salt.
Add more water if necessary.
Start checking the beans every 15 minutes for doneness.
To thicken the liquid, reduce it by cooking longer, or mash some of the beans.

Tips:

To save time, soak the beans overnight or use canned pinto beans.
You can use a slow cooker to cook the beans. Add all the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the beans in a pot on the stovetop. Bring the beans and water to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
Once the beans are cooked, mash them slightly with a potato masher or fork.
Add your favorite Tex-Mex seasonings to taste. Some common seasonings include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Serve the beans with your favorite toppings, such as cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
