Ingredients:

• 1 bag of dry pinto beans
• 6 slices of bacon cut into pieces 
• 4 to 5 Serrano peppers
• 1/2 onion
• 4 roma tomatoes
• salt to taste
• *cilantro optional *

Instructions:

• Pour the beans onto your counter and check for small rocks. Then rinse your beans in a colander. Then you will fill a pot with water and add the beans.
• Cook beans in water according to package directions. Once beans are tender and cut easily with a spoon you add salt to taste.
• Cook the bacon pieces in a pan until done.  Take out the bacon and set aside.
• Add the Serrano, onions, and tomatoes to the pan and sauté until tender.  You may have to add a little bit of water to keep mixture from getting too thick.  When mixture is tender pour into your pot of beans and add the bacon also.
• Let then beans simmer for about 10 min. to let flavors mix.
• You can also add a few sprigs of cilantro to pot if you wish.
  
  *these beans are also know as "borracho beans" (drunk beans) because that recipe calls for a can of beer to be added to the beans.*
