Steps:

  • 2. In a separate pot add the oil, heat and brown the stew meat until seared on all sides then add to the pot of beans with the remaining oil in the pot.
  • 3. Add all of the vegetables, onions, peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, bay leaves, spices, and seasonings. Add vinegar and stir well cover and lower the flame cook for about 5 to 6 hours.
  • 4. While cooking check beans and stir about once every hour. Taste bean broth to make sure the beans are seasoned just right "Salt" Cook until beans are tender and meats are fork tender. Taste to see if they have enough salt and pepper.
  • 5. Serve with hot buttered tortillas, and some Pico de Gallo or Salsa on the side. You can also serve along side Mexican rice (see my post for Mexican rice) with the salsa and tortillas. No need to make any other meat. Charro beans are loaded with Meat. Enjoy

These beans are a great way to use up leftover bacon and chorizo. They're also a great source of protein and fiber.
