Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beans

Rinse the pinto beans under cold water. Remove any debris or damaged beans.

2

Soak the Beans

In a large bowl, cover the rinsed beans with water and soak overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.

3

Cook the Beans

Drain the soaked beans and transfer them to a large pot. Add 6 cups of fresh water and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour, or until beans are tender.

4

Sauté the Aromatics

In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, and chili powder, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

5

Combine and Finish

Once the beans are tender, remove the bay leaf and stir in the sautéed mixture. Mix well and let simmer for another 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

6

Serve

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your delicious pinto beans!
