If you are making burritos you need the beans. This variation uses pink beans, green chiles, onions and garlic to produce that familiar taste.
Ingredients
1 lb
Pink beans
1 sm
Can Ortega green chiles, chopped
1 ts
Salt
1 lg
Onion, chopped
3
Cloves garlic, -minced/pressed
1/2 ts
Chili powder
4 tb
Salsa or to taste
Instructions
1.
Soak the beans overnight, changing water several times. Put beans in crock-pot and cover with an inch or so of water. Add salt, onion, garlic, and chili powder. Cook on low until beans are soft (about 18 hours? I forget).
2.
When beans are cooked, ladle off and reserve some of the liquid from the top. Mash the beans well. (I never do this as well as I'd like; I've tried a potato masher and an empty iced-tea jar.) Add reserved liquid as necessary for consistency. (I never have to add any, myself.) Stir in the chopped chiles and the salsa; heat through.
