Total Time:<\/strong> 1 hour 40 minutes<\/p>\n

Servings:<\/strong> 6<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/h1>\n

For the Beans<\/h2>\n

1 lb dried pinto beans<\/p>\n

Water for soaking<\/p>\n

8 cups water or beef broth<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon vegetable oil (if needed)<\/p>\n

1 medium white onion, diced<\/p>\n

4 garlic cloves, minced<\/p>\n

2 Roma tomatoes, diced<\/p>\n

1 jalape\u00f1o, finely chopped<\/p>\n

1 poblano pepper, diced<\/p>\n

1 serrano pepper, sliced (optional)<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon ground cumin<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon Mexican oregano<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon smoked paprika<\/p>\n

\u00bd teaspoon black pepper<\/p>\n

1 teaspoon chili powder<\/p>\n

1 tablespoon tomato paste<\/p>\n

2 cups beef broth<\/p>\n

Salt to taste<\/p>\n

For Serving<\/h2>\n

Crispy chicken or cheese taquitos<\/p>\n

Chopped cilantro<\/p>\n

Diced white onion<\/p>\n

Lime wedges<\/p>\n

Crumbled queso fresco (optional)<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/h1>\n

Step 1: Cook the Beans<\/h2>\n

Rinse the pinto beans and soak them overnight.<\/p>\n

Drain and place them in a large pot with fresh water or beef broth and the bay leaf.<\/p>\n

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 60\u201375 minutes<\/strong>, or until the beans are tender.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Prepare the Charro Mixture<\/h2>\n

While the beans cook, fry the diced bacon until crisp.<\/p>\n

Remove the bacon and leave about 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat in the pot.<\/p>\n

Add the ground beef and cook until browned.<\/p>\n

Stir in the onion, garlic, jalape\u00f1o, poblano pepper, and tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Cook for about 8 minutes until softened.<\/p>\n

Mix in:<\/p>\n

Tomato paste<\/p>\n

Cumin<\/p>\n

Mexican oregano<\/p>\n

Smoked paprika<\/p>\n

Chili powder<\/p>\n

Black pepper<\/p>\n

Cook for another minute to toast the spices.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Combine Everything<\/h2>\n

Add the cooked bacon back to the pot.<\/p>\n

Pour in the beef broth.<\/p>\n

Transfer the cooked beans along with some of their cooking liquid into the meat mixture.<\/p>\n

Simmer uncovered for 20\u201325 minutes<\/strong>, allowing the flavors to meld and the broth to become rich and slightly thickened.<\/p>\n

Season with salt to taste.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Prepare the Taquitos<\/h2>\n

Bake or fry the taquitos until golden brown and crispy.<\/p>\n

Keep warm until serving.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Serve<\/h2>\n

Ladle the hot Frijoles Charros into large bowls.<\/p>\n

Serve with crispy taquitos on the side for dipping.<\/p>\n

Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced onion, queso fresco if desired, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.<\/p>\n

Chef’s Tips<\/h1>\n

Homemade cooked pinto beans provide the richest flavor, but canned beans can be used for a quicker version.<\/p>\n

A combination of bacon and ground beef creates the deep, authentic flavor found in many Mexican homes.<\/p>\n

For extra smokiness, add a chopped chipotle pepper in adobo sauce.<\/p>\n

The stew becomes even more flavorful after resting overnight.<\/p>\n

Storage<\/h1>\n

Refrigerator:<\/strong> Up to 4 days.<\/p>\n

Freezer:<\/strong> Up to 3 months.<\/p>\n

Reheat:<\/strong> Warm gently over medium heat, adding a splash of broth if needed.<\/p>\n

Serving Suggestions<\/h1>\n

This hearty Mexican favorite pairs perfectly with:<\/p>\n

Crispy taquitos<\/p>\n

Warm corn tortillas<\/p>\n

Mexican rice<\/p>\n

Fresh avocado slices<\/p>\n

Pickled jalape\u00f1os<\/p>\n

Homemade salsa verde<\/p>\n

Agua fresca or horchata<\/p>\n
