Kiki's Borracho (Drunken) Beans

Servings:

Growing up, my Mexican grandmother always had a pot of beans cooking on the stove. I often cook these "drunken" beans (my updated version) for my family, and the aroma keeps her close to my soul, even years after she has passed. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Soak beans in a large pot of water, 8 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Drain beans, and refill the pot with chicken stock and enough water to cover beans with 2 inches of liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Stir beans occasionally throughout the entire cooking process to make sure they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.
  3. 3 Stir tomatoes, beer, onion, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, garlic, oregano, and bay leaves into the beans. Continue to cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until beans are tender.
  4. 4 With a potato masher, crush the beans slightly to thicken the bean liquid. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.
