I decided I wanted charro beans like I get at my favorite mexican restaurant to go with our tacos the other night. I didn't have any dried beans, or a lot of time, so I came up with this shortcut version that was delicious!

Ingredients For charro beans(easy shortcut recipe)

  • 3 slice
    bacon
  • 2 can
    chili beans
  • 1/2 c
    refried beans
  • 1/4 c
    roasted red peppers, diced(from a jar or fresh**)
  • 1/4 c
    salsa
  • 1 Tbsp
    chopped cilantro
  • chopped jalapenos, to taste(optional)

How To Make charro beans(easy shortcut recipe)

  • 1
    Fry the bacon crisp, remove from pan, crumble and set aside.
  • 2
    To the bacon fat in the pan, add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  • 3
    Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 30 min. or more.
  • 4
    Right before serving, stir in the crumbled bacon.
  • 5
    ** If you want to roast your own red pepper, place it under the broiler or directly on the burner of your stove. Cook and turn occasionally until all sides are charred and blistered. Place in a paper bag and roll up the top. Wait 5-10 min. then remove and peel(the peeling will slip right off at this point.) I like to leave a few pieces of the blackened peeling intact to impart more smoky flavor to the beans. Dice and seed the pepper and you're ready to go!
