Frijoles Charros

The dish is characterized by pinto beans stewed with onion, garlic, and bacon. These pinto beans are tender and simmered in a flavorful bean broth. They are always twice as good on day 2!!

  • Total Time: 8:20
  • Yield: 8-10

Ingredients

  • 1 lb dry pinto beans, rinsed and sorted
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 jalapenos, diced and seeded (or chipotle peppers)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 pieces bacon
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 6 cups low sodium chicken broth, boiling (or vegetable broth)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro

Instructions

 

  1. Chop the bacon slices into small pieces and saute until crispy in a small pan.
  2. In your slow cooker, add the beans, onions, jalapeños, pepper, tomatoes, garlic, salt, cumin, and oregano.
  3. Cover the beans with about 6 cups of boiling chicken or vegetable broth. You could also use water but I like the additional flavor of broth. Make sure the water is boiling – this essentially eliminates the need to soak the beans overnight and is a good trick when cooking beans in the crock pot.
  4. Add in the crispy bacon and the bacon drippings from the pan. Stir together and cook on low for 6-8 hours until beans are soft and tender.
