Slow Cooker Borracho Beans is a hearty Southwestern side dish made with pinto beans, bacon, jalapenos, tomatoes, and a flavorful combination of spices. Serve it alongside a bowl of rice and veggies for a well-balanced and satisfying meal.
Step 1
Sort through the beans to remove any debris. Soak in water for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight. If you want to skip this step, add boiling water to the slow cooker when starting to cook the beans.
Step 3
Add the onions and jalapenos to the skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes until beginning to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant. Add a splash of beer to the skillet to scrape up any of the browned bits.
