How To Make texas - frijoles a la charra

Step 1

Cook bacon in a skillet until crisp.

Step 2

Add tomatoes, jalapenos, chipotles and cilantro to the skillet, and cook on medium for 10 minutes.
Step 3

Let tomato-bacon mixture cool, add one cup of bean juice (or water) and then puree.
Step 4

Stir puree into beans and let simmer together for 20 minutes.
Step 5

Alternatively, if you prefer a chunkier texture, you could skip the puree step and add the tomato-bacon mixture straight to the bean pot.
