Ingredients
- 1 (13 oz) pinto beans (About 1 pound)
- 4 cups of water
- 1 tablespoon sofrito
- 1/2 bouillon cube (I use chicken bouillion)
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 1 teaspoon bitter orange juice (optional) or a 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar
- 2 to 3 tablespoon tomato sauce
Instructions
- Drain all the liquid from beans. The easiest way to do this is to place all the beans in a sieve and run water over them.
- After the beans are drained and rinsed, put them in a large pot and add 4 cups of water. Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.
- Reduce temperature to medium-low and take out ⅓ cup of beans and blend them with a bit of the water and add that blend back into the beans.
- Next, add bouillon, oil, tomato sauce, and my Sofrito Recipe.
- Add the bitter orange and some cilantro (optional). Let it cook on high temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes or until desired consistency.
Notes
How to serve these Pinto Beans:
These beans are great on their own with some avocado slices for a satisfying lunch. They also are great paired with my fluffy white rice recipe. This is how we eat them at A simple tweak household!
