Servings: 6
Calories: 227kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups of dried pinto beans
- ¼ white onion
- 8 cups of water
- 3 cloves of garlic
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the beans with fresh cool water.
- Add the beans, garlic, onion and water into the pot.
- Turn the heat on to medium-high and allow the water to boil. Once boiling bring the heat down to medium-low, cover the pot, and allow it to cook for around 60 minutes.
- After 60 minutes the beans should be soft. If not continue cooking until they are.
- Once soft add salt to taste* and let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
- We like serving them with a few squares of gouda cheese on top and a corn tortilla on the side.
Notes
*Set aside a portion for your baby before adding any salt.
TO COOK IN AN INSTANT POT: add all the ingredients and pressure cook in high temperature for 30 minutes, let the steam release on its own for 15-20 min and just add salt to taste.
