El Chaparral Restaurant


List of Ingredients





* 1 pound raw pinto beans
* 1 gallon water
* Salt, to taste
* 1/4 pound bacon, chopped
* 1 medium onion, diced
* 6 jalapeños, chopped (or to taste)
* 2 tomatoes, chopped
* 1/2 bunch cilantro


Recipe



Wash beans and pick over to remove any foreign material. Place
in a pot with water and bring to boil. Simmer 1 hour, then add salt.
Meanwhile, in separate large stockpot, cook bacon until crisp. Add
onion, jalapeños, tomatoes and cilantro; cook several minutes until
onions and jalapeños are soft. When beans have cooked 1 hour, add
them to pot with vegetables. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer soup
approximately 1 hour more, or until beans are tender. Taste and add
more salt as needed. Soup can be garnished with chopped cilantro if
desired.

Makes about 15 servings
