Always one of my favorite sides at different bbq joints I visit. Would like to start making them at home.

In.

I love charro beans at the Mexican restaurants around Houston and I don't know how to make them.

I’m just guessing but this is what I would do. Brown the bacon or chorizo, remove...Sauté veggies. Add stock/beans. Bring to boil then add meat and simmer. Seems like same way you would make red beans but add cumin and different spices

I made some beans using Aaron Franklin’s recipe a few weeks ago and they turned out great. I did not have brisket, so I used smoked ham ends and pieces. I imagine you could adjust the seasonings to your liking.

Never was a fan of Charro beans, but I could eat a gallon of Borracho Beans .

Yeah baw it’s easy.

-soaked pinto beans (can use a couple canned as an alternative)
- several strips of bacon
- chopped white onion
- diced jalapeño or 2
- chopped garlic
- big chopped tomato or 2
- enough chicken stock to cover


*cut bacon into little slices, sautée till half fat released

*throw in onions and jalapeños into the bacon and fat and sauté till soft

* throw in chopped tomatoes and garlic and sauté for 10 mins, stir a few times

*Throw in beans and salt and pepper to taste and mix all up.

*cover with chicken stock by an inch or 2. Summer for 45 minutes. Keep tasting and adjusting seasoning. I like mine soupy.
