Pinto Beans With Mexican-Style Seasonings Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Low Cholesterol Recipes. (Pinto Beans With Mexican-Style Seasonings Recipe). Pinto beans are simmered with onion, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and garlic. I love making these beans just because they make the whole house smell so good, and the longer they simmer the better they taste. You could add 1/2 can of beer to make 'borracho' beans. I personally taste-test throughout the entire cooking process and add extra seasoning as I feel it needs it. These beans could simmer all day long; just make sure they have plenty of water to keep the beans covered.
