Cooking Instructions

Preparing Pinto Beans

1. Clean the pinto (or your preferred) beans & soak them in water for at least 3 or 4 hours.
2. Drain the soaked beans & place them in a pot with onion & garlic. Add enough water to cover the beans generously (we’ll cook them for about 1 & a half hours).
3. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to simmer for 1 hour.
4. After 1 hour, check if the beans need more water. If they do, add warm water (not cold) & salt. Let them cook for another 30 minutes.

Chorizo beans

1. Dice the chilli & onion, then heat oil in a pan.
2. Sauté the onion & chilli until the onion is slightly transparent, then add the chorizo & cook until browned.
3. Once the chorizo is browned, add your preferred beans to the pan. Let everything cook together & simmer for 15 minutes.
4. You have two options: either mash everything with a potato smasher or blend it. Taste & add more salt if needed.

¡Buen Provecho!
