Best 8 Frijoles Borrachitos Beans With Beer Recipes

BORRACHO BEANS (FRIJOLES BORRACHOS)

Steps:

• Pour the beans into a large bowl. Pick out and discard any beans that are shriveled or split as well as any small rocks that may have made their way into the bag.
• Fully cover the beans with water (at least 3 inches over the top of the beans) and set on the counter to soak for 8 hours or overnight.
• Drain and rinse the beans under cool water. (They will have doubled in size during the soaking process!)
• Transfer the beans to a large pot or Dutch oven. Add 10 cups of water (and the optional ingredients if using them).
• Bring beans to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. (I recommend checking them at the 2 hour mark and giving them a taste. They should be tender and fully cooked through, but still a little firm and not mushy. Cook a little longer if they're not quite done.)
• Drain cooked beans, transfer to a large bowl, and set aside. Rinse and dry the pot.
• Return pot to the stove and heat over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a plate lined with paper towels and set aside.
• Add the onions and jalapeno and cook for 5 minutes, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot.
• Add the garlic, chili powders, dried oregano, salt and ground cumin. Stir and cook for 30 seconds.
• Add the cooked pinto beans, diced tomatoes, beer and brown sugar. Stir together to combine and bring to a low simmer.
• Simmer the beans for 15 minutes and remove from heat. Stir in the chopped cilantro and crispy bacon. Serve immediately.

• Add beer and scrape any brown bits off the bottom of the pot.

Steps:

• Soak Beans: Sort through the beans, then pour into a colander and rinse off. Add the beans to a large bowl and cover with water. Set aside to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight. After they have doubled in size, drain the excess water and rinse the beans off.
• Cook Beans: Add the beans to a large pot or dutch oven and cover with water, about 8 cups, enough to cover by 2 inches. Add the bayleaves. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to medium allowing the beans to simmer for about 2 hours. Beans should be tender and cooked through.
• Drain: Drain the beans, reserving about 1/3 a cup of the bean broth from cooking the beans, and set aside. Rinse out the pot and wipe dry.
• Cook Bacon: Heat the large pot or dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside. Drain the grease, reserving 1 tablespoon in the pot.
• Cook veggies: Add the diced onion and jalapeno. Cook until the onion and jalapeno are soft and tender. Add in the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
• Make Broth: Add in the pinto beans, reserved broth, beer, diced tomatoes, oregano, cumin, chili powder and salt.
• Simmer: Bring to a simmer, let the beans simmer covered for about 15-20 minutes over medium heat.
• Add Bacon: stir in the bacon and diced cilantro before serving.
