Print: Frijoles Borrachos (Drunken Baked Beans)

My version of frijoles borrachos, or drunken baked beans, might just be my all-time favorite version of baked beans. They say beer makes everything better, which might not be literally true, but once you taste a spoonful of these super savory, sweet and tangy, slightly spicy, and thoroughly amazing baked beans, you will surely agree. Not only is this one of the best-tasting baked bean recipes ever, it has to be one of the easiest.
