Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Beans

Rinse the pinto beans under cold water. In a large pot, combine the beans and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until beans are tender.

2

Cook the Bacon and Sausage

In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and chop into pieces. In the same skillet, add the chorizo sausage and cook until browned. Set aside.

3

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add chopped onion, minced garlic, diced green bell pepper, and diced jalapeño pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

4

Combine Ingredients

Once the beans are cooked, add the sautéed vegetables, cooked bacon, and chorizo to the pot. Stir in cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste. Let simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

5

Serve

Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Frijoles de Charro with warm tortillas or rice.
