A flavorful twist on traditional beans, infused with beer and enhanced with savory ingredients.
Soak the pinto beans in water for at least 5 hours or overnight.
Soaking beans reduces cooking time and improves digestibility.
Drain the beans and place them in a large stockpot.
Ensure the pot is large enough to accommodate the beans as they expand during cooking.
Add the beer to the pot and bring to a boil.
Use a beer with a flavor profile you enjoy, as it will influence the dish.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours.
Check occasionally to ensure the beans are not drying out; add water if needed.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it.
Drain excess fat from the bacon to keep the dish lighter.
Add the bacon, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, salt, and red pepper flakes to the beans.
Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cover and simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Serve the beans warm, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
Pair with rice or tortillas for a complete meal.
