FRIJOLES RANCHEROS (RANCH STYLE BEANS)



Frijoles Rancheros (Ranch Style Beans) image

An incredibly tasty, inexpensive, quick dish to make. My Honduran mother-in-law makes this when we visit. I can't get enough of it. You can add or subtract ingredients (more bacon, less onion) according to your taste. And, it freezes well. We like to eat it with rice and tortillas.

RANCHERO BEANS

Mexican style beans with the most delicious broth. I never bother to soak these beans, or pour off the first boil of water. This is the way we've cooked Mexican beans in my family for generations. But, if you're a stickler for bean ritual, feel free to presoak, et cetera, to your heart's content.
