INGREDIENTS:
2 cups pinto beans 1 Tbsp. salt water for cooking



1 Pot beans are a food basic in most Mexican households. Pinto beans, the beans most used, can be prepared enteros (whole), moledos (mashed/creamed), or re-fritos (refried). Beans make a basic side dish for any Mexican meal, with cheese or salsa as garnish. Creamed or mashed, beans are used for tostadas, tacos, burros and dips.
2 Clean beans, wash in cold water. In a cooking pot, bring 1-1/3 quarts of water to a boil. Add salt. Add beans, reduce heat to medium and cover. Cook beans until they are tender and brownish-pink in color, 1 hour, 25 minutes.
