Drunken Beans
Report
Drunken beans are a flavorful Mexican side dish (called frijoles borrachos) of tender beans that have simmered in beer.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces pinto beans dried
- 6 lices Bacon diced
- 1 medium sweet onion diced
- 1 medium jalapeño diced
- 4 cloves garlic diced
- 6 cups water
- 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
- 12 ounces dark beer
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes canned
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt more to taste
- 1 teaspoon black pepper more to taste, ground
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
Instructions
- Rinse and sort through the beans, removing any debris. Soak overnight in a large covered bowl.
- Drain the liquid from the beans and set beans aside.
- Add the bacon to a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat and fry until nearly crisp.
- Add in the onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the beans, water, beer, tomatoes, chili powder, and cumin to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover.
- Cook, covered, for 1 hour 30 minutes, stirring every 30 minutes.
- Remove the lid from the beans and stir. Continue cooking uncovered for 1 hour. Once beans are cooked through and tender, add additional water to the pot to reach your desired consistency. We like to leave the beans thick.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the salt, pepper, and cilantro before serving.
Notes
- We like our beans to have a fairly thick texture, but you can easily add more liquid (water, broth, or even beer) to the beans after cooking to thin it out a bit.
