I had made these beans the day before and they were even better today.
Frijoles a la Charra:
Cook a pot of pinto beans (1 1/2 to 2 pounds) after washing and soaking the beans. Drain.
Cover the beans with several inches of water and cook until tender. Salt and pepper to taste.
Add :
a medium onion, chopped
2 cloves chopped garlic
several slices of chopped bacon
1 can of Rotel tomatoes with chilis
a small handful of chopped, fresh cilantro
Simmer the beans for several hours, adding hot water if needed, until they are thick and creamy.

The weather was really warm and beautiful. I sat on the deck and watched Mike grill the meat. Very relaxing.

Don't you just love days like this? And the excursions to Home Depot, the best shopping trips ! If the trooper shares his sauce recipe, will you post it? The chops look especially good!
I have my beans soaking now...I told ya I'd make em! I'll let you know how they turned out, I've never made these.
That looks delicious!
Okkkk they are done! they rock,,they have just enough of a "bite" to them. Anyone who likes beans--go for it. I think they would be good if you add alittle sour cream on top with cilantro and some cheddar cheese.
Here is the site where I ordered my words..they have so much and their prices I think are VERY good.
