TEX-MEX PINTO BEANS
This is my take on pinto beans served at a popular Tex-Mex restaurant in Dallas, and they are an inexpensive dish to serve guests at a dinner party. You can soak the beans overnight before cooking them, or try the quick method listed in the instructions.

Steps:
- Wash and clean the beans, then bring them to a boil in 4 cups of water.
- Cook them for 2 minutes, remove from the stove, cover and let them sit for an hour.
- In a skillet, toast the cumin and chile powder over a medium high heat until they become fragrant (takes seconds).
- Put the spices aside and rinse the skillet.
- Cook the bacon in the skillet, saving the fat.
- Remove the bacon and add the onions and garlic, and saute them for a minute.
- Seed and chop the tomatoes and chop the bacon.
- When the beans have soaked an hour, drain them, and add 8 cups of fresh water and all the other ingredients, except the salt.
- Bring the beans to a boil, cover, cut the heat to low, and simmer them for about an hour.
- Remove the lid and check to see there's enough water, which should be about an inch above the beans and stay that way, then add the salt.
- Add more water if necessary.
- Start checking the beans every 15 minutes for doneness.
- To thicken the liquid, reduce it by cooking longer, or mash some of the beans.
