DRUNKEN PINTOS WITH CILANTRO AND BACON (RICK BAYLESS)
These beans are wonderful. If you're short on time, you can even use canned pinto beans. But try making from scratch, as it makes a HUGE difference! This is Rick Bayless' version of Frijoles Charros.

Steps:
- BEANS:.
- Sort and rinse the beans thoroughly. Scoop into a 4 quart saucepan.
- Add 5 cups water; remove any beans that float.
- Add the cubed pork (or extra chopped bacon) and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and gently simmer, partially covered, until tender, about 2 hours.
- Stir gently occasionally, and keep water level a good 1/2 inch above the level of the beans.
- FLAVORINGS:.
- In a medium skillet, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon but leave behind the drippings.
- Pour off all the drippings except 2 Tablespoons.
- Return pan to medium heat.
- Add the onions and chiles and fry until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes.
- Scrape the onion mixture into the beans; taste and season with salt.
- Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes to blend the flavors.
- If the beans seem soupy, boil over medium heat until they are the consistency of a nice brothy bean soup.
- You can also take 1/4 of the beans and run them through the blender with a bit of broth, then return to pan.
- Just before serving, stir in the tequila and cilantro.
- Serve in warm bowls topped with the crumbled bacon.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for my taste. It took me over two hours to make, and I had to babysit the pot the whole time. The end result was good, but I don't think it was worth the effort.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong with my drunken beans, but they turned out really soupy. The flavor was good, but the texture was off. I think I might have added too much liquid. Next time I'll be more careful to follow the recipe more closely.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The beans were hard and undercooked, and the sauce was way too salty. I had to throw the whole thing away. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

[email protected]This recipe was okay. The beans were a bit too mushy for my taste, and the sauce was a bit too tangy. I think I would have liked it better if the beans were cooked for a shorter amount of time and if the sauce had less lime juice.

[email protected]I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more seasoning. Other than that, the recipe was easy to follow and the beans were cooked perfectly.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a spicy beer. Next time I'll use a milder beer and see if that helps. Overall, the recipe was easy to follow and the beans were delicious.
