Restaurant Style Mexican Beans Recipe

[@johnc1014]

I'm a single man learning to cook. This video was so straight forward. Ma'am, you are an awesome teacher. You made it really simple and easy. Thank you.

[@jordanpayne2963]

Your video means alot to me. My mom always told me that there were weeks when she was a k8d, where her family didn't eat anything but beans and rice. She lived in a family of six, an older sister, older brother, younger sister, and mom and dad. Even though the family pitched in, they still struggled alot and they were pretty poor. They make the most amazing beans, but I never learned how to make them. After watching your video I was able to learn how my family got by. It's such a small thing, and you won't look at this, but I appreciate it so much. Thank you.

[@almasrecipes1096]

Jordan Payne I am so so glad that it means a lot to you and I am able to show people how to make beans because I came from the same background as your mom. I have 10 siblings and I grew up poor and the only thing I ate was beans and tortillas. I realized so many people didn't know how to make beans but they are so simple, good for you, and there are so many things you can do with them.

[@jordanpayne2963]

AlmasRecipes yes it was so much more simple and delicious than you'd originally think. Again, thank you so much, I am so excited to see more of your videos, and cook them! :P

Keep your head up, many of us grew up on beans and rice, or beans, tortillas and potatoes. Delicious!

[@jamescisneros8951]

I work evenings and nights so Getting laid off because of Covid and having to learn how to cook for two boys and my wife was difficult. People like this are amazing. This is the recipe I use every time I cook. I hope this lady knows how much I appreciate her.

[@Wul-Lop]

Great Mexican food heritage. May all people who cook like this & who eat like this be happy & healthy.

[@robertduverger3442]

thank you for sharing only you made me so hungry.

[@retiredarmy3755]

I LOVE RE-FRIED BEANS!!! My wife is Texican and she makes these beans about once a week. She fries them in bacon grease for extra flavor and lessens the salt needed. She also chops up the onion half that was not used in the boiling process, and uses it in the frying process. The house smells so good while they are cooking (slow boil, her total time is about 4 hrs), that I keep stealing little bowls throughout the cooking process. Add some of her home-made tortillas and who needs anything else? (Maybe a cold beer!) Thank you for this. :D

[@bonniepollock4592]

Rice lettuce cheese and most definitely salsas. I love food way too much gonna have to work out today!!

[@davidjimenez1689]

Yes sir .

[@arleneortiz6693]

My mom made the best beans, God rest her soul, she has since passed on! She would rinse the beans, and let them soak over night ( to get white in color). For r,refried beans (we would have for breakfast), she would fry bacon, and used the bacon grease in the refried beans. OMG! The beans were so good!

[@marytresame1758]

This is how I make them too.

[@pkoblenz4368]

Anything you cook with bacon would taste "the best", of course. What most people don't understand is beans have a smooth, mild flavour, which of course wil be completely overpowered by the strong, greasy flavor of the bacon. Also, you don't need to soak them overnight for "whiteness". If you cook them right, dry, without overnight soaking, you still will be able to get them "white"

[@sandrawaller4344]

Correct way to cook beans ! When soaked overnight ,you get rid of the toxins that cause gases !

[@jacqulinegoodman2074]

Hachikō o

[@FelonyVideos]

@@sandrawaller4344 That's exactly the reason to soak them. It doesn't change the texture or taste, it changes how you smell the next day. ;-) But they aren't toxins, either. They are enzymes many people don't breakdown in the gut fully.

Very good recipe and instruction, thank you. I lived in Albuquerque, New Mexico some time ago. I heard a story from a friend of mine about some fancy nutritionist coming to New Mexico about 1920 or so, before New Mexico became a state. He supposed he would see lots of evidence of malnutrition. What he saw was a thriving community who ate beans and rice regularly; this is a perfect protein. They also ate a lot of vegetables in season and some meat, chicken and fish, but in moderation because it was hard to come by. I still love making a really good rice and beans recipe, wonderful for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

When I lived in Southern California.. My neighbor was a Mexican young woman.. She taught me how to make this type of beans.. And I had forgotten.. I am so glad I found your video... I will make them like this from now on.. Instead of buying a can which really is the nastiest tasting... Yum... I also subscribed to your channel...

[@danielmoore2320]

She actually didn't do it right she forgot to add the garlic and as far as the beans are concerned before you soak them my mom would pick them one by one to see which one was good and which was not good and then she would soak it overnight add garlic cloves and the onion

[@treffensaintjohnllc2913]

This is an excellent tutorial! LOL! I noticed that while the chef was waiting for the beans to cook for three hours she re-did her nails!

[@mariateresaacosta7786]

You can soak it overnight and cooks on half the time.

[@Scaryladyvideos]

Thank you! I've been very frustrated trying to get my beans to soften. Been cooking them for 1 1/2 hours and was suspecting that they needed a lot more time. Betting that the 2 1/2 hours is the answer I was looking for.

[@nurhayat81]

[@juans6639]

I add diced onions and garlic towards the end of cooking time. My beloved wife who passed away would fry bacon strips separately, then dice the bacon strips and add them towards the end of cooking time. BTW, It only takes less than 2hrs. from start to finish. She told me to never add raw bacon strips to the beans while cooking. Yum, yum.

[@outdoorseyfun9842]

Yes,that's what I have done along with onion,and kosher salt,my wife doesn't use the garlic I get good results!

[@xysix2548]

Our local family owned grocery store sells lots of different dried items in bulk. One of those items is dried beans that I buy in 50# bags. My wife is without doubt one of the world's finest cooks and there are so many recipes she uses with beans. Her chili, rice and beans are to die for.

Easy instructions, thanks. I don't use onion at all. I let them boil usually for more than 4 hours and a VERY SLOW FIRE. Definitively use more water. I use vegetable oil for frying, NOT LARD, as many people argue. I hate the taste of using lard. If they are well fried they taste delicious with oil.

Lard is traditional, pork fat rules. But see your point. That's the beauty of personal Taste.

OMyGosh YUM ! I made these Beans last night for dinner ! 😋😍😍😍👍👍👍But I cooked the beans in my Instant Pot 35mins ur 1/2lb Dry pintos & 3-1/2cups water on Manual 35mins w- Quick Release. I used the 1/2 white onion (It was all I had) & I added 2 cloves garlic tossed the onion out. & instead of corn oil I used bacon grease & infused the other 1/2 of the onion then tossed the onion out & added the beans & their broth & smashed & cooked down ..... They Were Sooooo YUMMY Thank u soooo Much for ur recipe. I look for recipes I can cook in my IPot ( Instant pot ) ( electric Pressure cooker ). So ur beans I was able to cook in 1 Hour Total & only had to stand over the stove for 15mins IF That 😊👍thank u again this is nice my Favirite Refried Beans. We were laying $6.50 for 1 quart but the Resturant closed. So now I can make them for about $1- 👍👍👍😃

[@kevinshasteen5682]

Thx for the vid. I always like to cook them in a pressure cooker with 1 diced onion, 1 diced Bell Pepper, Salt, Pepper, Onion Salt, Garlic Powder. If that sounds TexMex.., guilty, I am from Texas. You can make extra and put them in the freezer for later. Leave'm like they are for a soup or stew, or smash'm for refried beans where you can then add jalopeno flavoring with chili lime. Goes great in a chicken, steak, bean burrito.
