Ingredients
- 1/2 pound dry pinto beans (pinto beans)
- 6 cups water
- 2 teaspoons salt (I use Lawry's seasoned salt)
- 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Cayenne pepper, pinch (or more if you want the beans spicy)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (slightly heaping)
How to Make
-
Step 1: Sort & rinse the dry beans. Place beans in heavy pot. Add about 6 cups of water & all of the seasonings. Bring to a heavy boil. Reduce the heat to medium low. Cover with a lid and cook, covered, for 3-5 hours, adding water as needed. The higher your elevation, the longer the beans take to cook.
-
Step 2: When the beans are soft, mash beans with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor to desired consistency. If the beans are too loose/watery for your taste, cook over low heat until they are the thickness that you like.
