I made Cucos black beans for Cinco the Mayo.

Back in the day, and before there were Mexican joints on every corner, Monroe had Cucos. It was a popular Mexican restaurant/bar/ hangout for many years. We would often go there, drink and eat before walking across the street to party down at Sal’s saloon. The food overall at Cucos was great. But the black beans were out of this world. I’ve often thought of those black beans and a while back got the better half ask the folks on Spacebook if anybody had the recipe. A former employee eventually posted the following. Last Tuesday I made them and it turned out great. I thirded the recipe, as the following makes a lot of beans. Anyway, here it is if anybody wants it. It’s legit.




ETA- I did not do the refrigerator part. Just made it all in one day after soaking the day prior
