Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Beans

    Place the pinto beans in a colander and rinse them under cold water to remove any dust or debris.

  2. 2

    Soak the Beans

    In a large bowl, cover the rinsed beans with water and let them soak for at least 6-8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse again before cooking.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Beans

    In a pot, combine the soaked beans and 4 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the beans simmer for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until tender.

  3. 5

    Season the Beans

    Once the beans are tender, stir in salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes. Serve warm as a side dish or use in your favorite recipes.
