These Charro Beans are in honor of the beans that I ate as a child in San Antonio, but made quick and easy with canned pinto beans.

Flavored with smoky bacon and charred onions and jalapeños, they are out of this world delicious!

INGREDIENTS

– pinto beans – vegetable oil – bacon – onion – jalapeño

01.

Heat a dutch oven, or large pot, over medium high heat and add one tablespoon of vegetable oil (can use bacon fat or lard). When the oil shimmers, add in your bacon, onion, and fresh jalapeño.

Saute until the bacon is just starting to crisp up on the edges and the onions and jalapeños are are softening and beginning to get dark on the edges.

Add in your canned beans, juice and all, and scrape to get some of the fond off the bottom.
