How Do You Make Mexican Pinto Beans?
Pinto beans are one of the staples in Mexican cuisine. They can be eaten plan, spiced up, with rice, or on a tortilla. They can be made as a meal or as an appetizer. You can eat them with lunch or dinner. These beans are also very inexpensive which makes them perfect for large families on a budget. Follow these steps to make your own savory dish of pinto beans. Pour your pinto beans in a strainer and rinse under the faucet. Add pinto beans and water to a large pot and turn the stove’s heat to high heat. Use a cheese grater to grate your onion and garlic cloves. Add to the pot of beans. Turn your heat down to low once it reaches a boil. Cook the beans for one hour and stir. Cook the beans another half an hour and check the beans. If the beans are cooked, you can turn the heat off. If they are not cooked and the water has all been absorbed, you will need to add a cup of water and cook another 15 minutes. Serve hot.
