Instructions
Start by soaking the pinto beans overnight. This step is crucial for speeding up the cooking time and ensuring your beans are tender.
Fry the bacon and chorizo in a large pot until they're beautifully browned and crisp.
In the same pot, cook the onions and garlic until translucent.
Add the beans, chopped vegetables, spices, and liquid into the pot. Let everything simmer for 1 1/2- 2 hours until the beans are perfectly tender.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, then garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
