Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 1/2 pounds pinto beans uncooked
  • 1 gallon cold water
  • 3/4 pound Bacon cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup chopped garlic
  • 4 tablespoon cilantro plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup chopped white onions
  • 1 tablespoon  cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/2 gallon cold water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons salt
  • 2 cups chopped roma tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Soak the beans in 1 gallon of cold water for 8 hours. Drain when ready to use. 
  2. In a large (2-gallon) heavy pot, cook the bacon cubes until well done – the bacon should not be undercooked. 
  3. Add the onions, 1/2 cup of garlic, and cilantro, to the hot bacon and cook until the onions are transparent. 
  4. Add the beans, cumin, and chili powder. Stir well and add 1/2 gallon of cold water. Set heat to medium-low, add the salt, and stir well. 
  5. Cook the beans slowly until they are tender (approximately 1 hour). Stir constantly to avoid burning the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of garlic, extra cilantro for garnish, and serve.
