Charro Beans — Mexican recipe
Charro Beans, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Charro Beans

Brothy Mexican-style "cowboy" beans: tender pinto beans simmered with crisp bacon, onion, garlic, fresh tomatoes, jalapeño and smoky chipotles in adobo until the broth is rich and savory. A hearty side for tacos, carne asada and barbecue, or a bowl on its own with warm tortillas.
