Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked bacon diced
- ½ white onion diced
- 3 jalapeños finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 cup water
- 3 15 ounce cans pinto beans, drained
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until fully cooked.
- Add onion, jalapeno, and spices. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and tender.
- Add water and pinto beans.
- Allow the beans to cook for 20 minutes or medium heat.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- These beans actually get better on day 2 or 3 as the flavors deepen - perfect for meal prep.
- The secret ingredient is a dash of apple cider vinegar added at the end, which brightens all the flavors.
- Save some of the bean cooking liquid when storing leftovers - the beans will continue to absorb liquid in the fridge.
- For extra depth, try adding a charred jalapeño instead of fresh - it adds a subtle smokiness that works perfectly with the bacon.
