Tips:

  • Use dried pinto beans for the best flavor and texture. If using canned beans, rinse them thoroughly before using.
  • Soak the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help to reduce the cooking time and make the beans more digestible.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to cook the beans. This will give the beans plenty of room to expand and cook evenly.
  • Add the beans, water, and salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, such as the onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and paprika, to the pot and simmer for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the beans hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, cornbread, or tortillas.
