Frijoles Borrachos (Drunken Beans)
Source of Recipe
Internet
List of Ingredients
4 jalape�o chiles, stems and seeds removed, cut in half (or mild chiles)
2 cups dried pinto beans, washed well
1 (12-oz.) can beer
1 lg. onion, quartered
1 tbsp oil
6 cups water
salt to taste
oil for refrying Recipe
Combine chiles, beans, beer, onion, 1 tbsp. oil, and water in large pot and soak overnight to absorb flavors.
The next day, bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the beans are tender. Salt to taste. Cook until they start to fall apart. Add more water if necessary.
Remove the onion and jalape�os and either serve the beans whole, or mash and then fry with additional oil for refried beans. Or use in chili.
NOTE: I add 1 Tbsp. chili powder and 1 tsp. cumin at the beginning.
Also you can leave the beer out if you don't like alcohol.
MY NOTES: I add a bit of bacon grease to the oil part when frying beans - adds a nice smokey flavor. Also, after draining the beans, keep some of the water. If the beans become a bit dried out after frying, add just a little of the bean water at a time, to rehydrate them.
