Pinto beans are simmered with onion, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and garlic in this easy one-pot recipe. I love making these beans just because they make the whole house smell so good, and the longer they simmer the better they taste. You could add 1/2 can of beer to make "borracho" beans. I personally taste-test throughout the entire cooking process and add extra seasoning as I feel it needs it. These beans could simmer all day long; just make sure they have plenty of water to keep the beans covered.

Ingredients

  • pinto beans, rinsed: 1 pound (dried)
  • water: 4 cups (or as needed)
  • tomatoes with green Chili peppers (such as RO*TEL®): 2 cans (10 ounce cans, diced)
  • bacon: 0.5 pound (cut into 1/2 inch pieces)
  • yellow onion: 1 piece (chopped)
  • chili powder: 1 Tbsp (to taste)
  • ground cumin: 1 Tbsp (to taste)
  • ½ teaspoons garlic powder: 1 piece (to taste)
  • bunch fresh cilantro: 0.5 piece (chopped)
  • salt: (to taste)
