olive oil

onion, sliced

red peppers, deseeded and chopped into largish chunks

tbsp chipotle paste

tomatoes

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the onions and peppers for a few mins until softened. Stir in the chipotle paste for a minute, followed by the tomatoes. Add up to a tomato can-full of water to cover the chicken and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the chicken breasts and gently simmer, turning the chicken occasionally, for 20 mins until the chicken is cooked through.

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with the stock cubes. Add the quinoa and cook for 15 mins until tender, adding the beans for the final min. Drain well and stir in the coriander and lime juice, then check for seasoning before covering to keep warm.

Lift the chicken out onto a board and shred each breast using two forks. Stir back into the tomato sauce with the sugar and season. Serve with the quinoa, scattering the stew with some coriander leaves just before dishing up and eating with a dollop of yogurt on the side.

Charros Bean Recipe (Mexican Pinto Beans)

Mexican

Yellow Onion (– small dice (about 1 ½ cups))

Jalapenos (– seeded, ribbed & small dice (about ½ cup))

Garlic (– minced)

½ tsp EACH: Ground Cumin & Dark Brown Sugar

(15 ounce) cans reduced-sodium Pinto Beans

(15 ounce) can Fire Roasted Tomatoes (– do NOT drain)

½ Cups No-Sodium Chicken

Kosher Salt

Optional topping: Pico de Gallo

Lime

Cook Bacon

Cook bacon: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the bacon (add a splash of neutral oil if you are using lean bacon) and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is cooked and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon and remove the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Turn off heat and drain or blot all but 2 tablespoons of bacon grease (fat) from the pot.

Cook Chorizo

Cook the chorizo: Increase heat to medium-high and add the chorizo to the pot. Cook undisturbed for 1 ½ minutes. Flip and cook another 1 minute undisturbed. Stir and continue to cook, using the back of a wooden spoon to break the chorizo up into small pieces, until browned, about 1 more minute. Use a slotted spoon and remove the chorizo to a SEPARATE paper towel-lined plate. Turn off heat and drain or blot all but 1 tablespoon of grease from the pot.

Sauté Vegetables

Sauté vegetables + seasonings: Decrease heat to medium and add the onions and jalapenos. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, sugar, chili powder, oregano and paprika. Season with ½ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add Remaining Ingredients

Add remaining ingredients: Add in the beans and liquid, tomatoes, broth (or beef if using) and the reserved chorizo to the pot. Stir well to combine. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a rapid simmer. Immediately reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

Simmer Beans

Simmer: Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 minutes, or until slightly thickened. (NOTE: For soupier, more stew-like beans, cover the pot and simmer for the first 15 minutes, then remove the cover and simmer an additional 10 minutes.)

Add Bacon

Add bacon, cilantro &amp; adjust for seasoning: Turn off the heat and add the bacon and half the cilantro. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve Charro Beans

Serve: Garnish with remaining cilantro, along with fresh tomatoes or Pico de Gallo and jalapenos if using. Serve and enjoy!

These beans are delicious!  Such a crowd favorite, I'm making a double batch to freeze and serve at my birthday dinner along with homemade pulled pork enchiladas.

Can these made ahead of time? How long? 
Can you freeze them?

just made them ahead for a Memorial day gathering tomorrow. I'll add the cilantro and bacon before serving but WoW! Will definitely be on repeat

I made these after having them in Mexico.. been craving them since then. I was out of cilantro and I added a bit of Tajin for seasoning. It turned out great!! Easy recipe to follow, unbelievably flavorful!

I made this last night and it’s a hit! We really liked it. Will be making this again!

These are the absolute best beans ever! I’ve made this recipe many times now and for many different people and they are always a huge hit. This recipe always impresses guests

I made the recipe as written (w/o meat) the first time. I loved it, but my husband and kids couldn't stop blowing their noses and drinking water.  Too spicy for them. I made them again, this time with ground beef and modified the spices.....
Husband said it was heavenly, and the babies gobbled it up. This is great and easy to make to your own liking. Thanks!

Creamy mayacoba beans are a nutritious and buttery ingredient perfect as a side dish, spread over a tostada, or in a hearty bowl. Cook a batch or two, and enjoy the natural creaminess of Mayocoba beans, making them a perfect complement to any meal. 

Mayocoba beans

lb Mayocoba beans

water

white onion

garlic

black pepper

lard oil

Clean the beans by passing them through your hands and picking out small rocks and dried-up or broken beans.

Then, begin by rinsing the dried Mayocoba beans thoroughly. Soak them in water overnight (optional). This step reduces the cooking time.

Soak the Beans: 

Drain the soaked beans and add them to a large pot. Add the water, lard, onion, and garlic, and bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the beans simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until they are tender and creamy. Stir occasionally. Add more water as needed during cooking to ensure the beans remain submerged.

After the beans are tender, season them with salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. 

Just before serving, garnish with the crumbled queso fresco.

Cook the Beans:

Mayacoba beans cook well in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot. They typically take 20–30 minutes under pressure, and you don’t need to soak them.

Pressure Cooking or Instant Pot: 

I had never heard of mayacoba beans before, but I followed your cooking method for them tonight and they were wonderful! We used them for tostadas, and they were so creamy. I'll definitely be making these again in the future!
