Method
- Start by rinsing the dried pinto beans under cold water. Soaking helps soften them and reduces cooking time.
- In a large pot, combine the soaked beans and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover, cooking for about 45 minutes to 1 hour until tender.
- In another pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, jalapeño, cumin, and chili powder to the onions. Sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Once the beans are tender, stir in the sautéed mixture and beer.
- Let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once ready, remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh cilantro.
- Serve your Frijoles Borrachos warm, either on their own or alongside your favorite dishes.
Notes
These beans are versatile and can be served as a main dish or a side. They pair well with grilled meats, rice, or tortillas.
