ingredients

2 pounds dry pinto beans
water, as needed
1 teaspoon salt
2 large onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 jar (4 ounce size) taco sauce
1 can (4 ounce size) roasted green chiles
1 can (16 ounce size) diced tomatoes, drained

directions

Pick over the beans to remove any debris. Place the beans in a pot of water and let soak overnight. For the quick soak method, place the beans in a pot of water and bring to a boil over high heat. When boiling, turn the heat off, cover the pan, and let stand for 1 hour.

Drain the beans well and add enough water to just cover them in the pan. Add the salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 1 hour, adding additional water as needed to keep the beans covered.

Add the onion, garlic, black pepper, cumin, taco sauce, green chiles, and tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until the beans are tender.

Serve the Arizona ranch-style beans while hot.

  2. karen REVIEW:

    These are delicious Southwestern Beans. Glad to find them. I've made them several times, always with raves. I live in S.E. Arizona, so these beans are what people mean when you are asked to bring beans for a funeral dinner or potluck.
