In this recipe, the beans are left whole and cooked in a mixture of spices
and beer until there is almost no liquid left. They can replace refried beans in
tacos, burritos, and tostadas.
1/4 cup dried pinto beans or two (14-ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and
drained
1 tbl vegetable oil
3 slc bacon, chopped
1 lrg onion, finely chopped
2 x cloves garlic, crushed
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tsp chopped fresh oregano
1 x (14-ounce) can chopped tomatoes, drained
3/4 cup light beer
3/4 cup water
Instructions:
Instructions: If using dried beans, place in a large saucepan or bowl. Add enough water to cover and soak the beans overnight, then cook according to the instructions on the package. Drain the beans and discard the cooking water.

In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook for 3 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and oregano; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, beer and water and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Remove the lid, stir well, and simmer an additional 20 minutes or until there is very little liquid left. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
