Charro Beans

Charro Beans

Everyday

Charro beans are a traditional Mexican dish featuring pinto beans simmered with bacon, chili peppers, and aromatic spices like cumin and garlic. Unlike refried beans, they retain their whole-bean texture while absorbing smoky, savory flavors from ingredients like tomatoes and cilantro during slow cooking. This protein- and fiber-rich preparation often accompanies grilled meats, offering a nutrient-dense alternative to simpler bean dishes with 8-10 grams of plant-based protein per cooked cup.
