It was my first time making beans and I tried two diff recipes. This one wins hands down! The lime brightened up the great flavor, and a dash of chili powder was a nice add on. Thank you! I will make again (can’t stop eating em!)

Hi Elizabeth, I’m so glad you’re loving the recipes! You might like these flour tortillas, which don’t call for masa: https://www.loveandlemons.com/flour-tortillas/

The simplicity of your bean recipes keeps bringing me back. Also, have changed my eating habits and your recipes fit my new habits very well. Thank you …

Bye the way, do you have any more healthy tortilla recipes ? The masa is too heavy and my daughter bought me a tortilla press and warmer as a welcome to Texas present I love making my own at home

You’re making chili beans here.
It’s just dried pinto beans, a whole Spanish onion chopped, salt, pepper and water.
Cook over medium heat. Check the water every half hour and replenish as needed until the beans are tender. At this point add about 1/4 cup of lard.
Stir till combined.
Serve with warm tortillas.
Enjoy

This recipe was cool. I used 6 cups of Pinto Beans. And the season alike. I did substitute water for Chicken Broth. Plus also I boiled four Smoked Pork Hocks for 1 1/2 hours before starting the recipe instructions. And popped them in after adding all ingredients except lime. Lime was last. The Pinto Beans came out great! I did add three Bay Leaves as well.
