Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the pinto beans in water overnight or for at least 6 hours. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pork shoulder and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and green bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the soaked pinto beans, diced tomatoes, minced chipotle peppers, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Pour in the water or broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the flavors meld together.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a main dish or side.
