Newmexicopintobeans Recipes

Steps:

• Place pinto beans in a large pot and pour in enough water to cover by 2 inches. Add tomatoes with juice, onion, jalapeno pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 hours.
• Stir in cilantro, salt, and pepper. Continue to simmer until beans are soft, about 1 more hour. Taste the liquid and add more of any of the spices you feel will make it taste better.

Steps:

• Wash and pick over the beans, removing loose skins or shriveled beans.
• Put in a large covered pot and cover with hot water.
• Soak over night if you want to cut down on cooking time.
• When beans start to simmer add ham bone, salt pork or bacon.
• Add more water as needed but only hot or boiling water.
• Never add cold water the beans will turn dark.
• If you cook without a lid the beans will also turn a dark color.
• When the skins are almost as tender as the inside of the beans, they are done.
• They should not be broken.
• Add salt and allow to stand before serving.

Steps:

• Place pinto beans into a large pot and pour in enough water to cover by 2 to 3 inches. Let beans soak overnight.
• Drain beans, return to pot, and pour in fresh water to cover; add diced tomatoes, bacon, onion, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 hours.
• Stir cilantro and salt into bean mixture; simmer until beans are soft, about 1 more hour.

Steps:

• *Soak beans in water overnight. With a sharp knife, make several slashes into, but not all the way through, the salt pork. Pour off soaking water and add fresh water to cover by at least one inch. Add the salt pork, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano. Simmer on low heat at least 4 hours or until water is absorbed and mixture is thick. *Dried beans cook faster if they are soaked. Cover beans with 2 inches of water, soak them overnight, drain, and then cook according to your recipe. A shortcut to overnight soaking is to cover the beans with plenty of water, bring them to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Then, turn off the heat, cover tightly, and let them sit for 1 hour. Then, drain and cook as usual.

Steps:

• Soak beans overnight covered w/ water. In the morning, drain off the water.
• Mix all ingredients together in pot, cover with water by about 1 inch and bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, turn to low and let cook all day or until beans are tender.
• Check and stir often, adding water as necessary.
• You can split between two crockpots and cook on high 6-7 hours or on low all day. Be warned that the juices will not be as thick as if you cooked it on the stove.
