ingredients
2 cups dried pinto beans
2 teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 ounces salt pork
2 tablespoons bacon drippings or oil
1 onion, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and diced
1 can (16 ounce size) diced tomatoes, drained
1 can (12 ounce size) beer
directions
Soak the pinto beans in water overnight. Drain well.
Place the beans in a stockpot or dutch oven. Add enough water to just cover. Add the salt, garlic, and salt pork. Bring the beans to a simmer and let cook for 2 1/2 hours or until they are soft.
Drain the beans and reserve the liquid. Return the beans to the pot off the heat. Remove the salt pork.
Heat the bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, jalapenos, and tomatoes. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft (about 6 minutes). Add the vegetables to the beans.
Turn the heat to medium under the beans. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Add the beer and as much of the reserved cooking liquid as desired until the beans are the desired consistency. If desired, use a potato masher or large spoon to mash the beans a little.
Serve hot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
reviews & comments
Directions say to add pork, however pork is not on the list of ingredients. Only bacon drippings are mentioned. I've made borracho beans before and added cooked bacon. They would even been good with ham.
So where's the tequilla?
Huh? There is no tequila needed or mentioned in this recipe.
