under 30 minutes

ingredients

4 thick slices bacon, cut into small pieces
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped or crushed
1 can (15 ounce size) diced tomatoes, in juice
2 cans (15 ounce size) pinto beans, do not drain
1 canned pickled jalapeno, more to taste
salt
1/2 cup chopped cilantro

directions

In a large (4-quart) saucepan, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir for a minute, then add half the tomatoes with their juice (reserve other half for another use).

Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add beans with their liquid and simmer over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes.

While beans simmer, stem chilies, cut in half lengthwise and scrape out seeds. Chop into small pieces and add to beans.

Taste beans and season with salt if necessary. Ladle into small bowls, sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
