martha's "pinto beans
My neighbor makes the best pinto beans.She told me how she makes them and I was surprised by how simple they are.I think the key to her beans is,she cooks them in a clay pot. My beans are good but not as good as hers and I think the clay pot is the key.Until I find a pot like hers,I make my beans"Martha's way. Sometimes,I put the beans in the crock pot,same recipe. I like to add chopped tomatoes,minced onions and shredded cheese to beans with rice and any Mexican entree. Great for tacos,tostadas,burritos and huevos rancheros.
