You'll find this style of beans at MANY Mexican special occasion meals.

2 lbs pinto beans

16 cups water

1 can of beer of your choice (Or you can leave them out and call them Sober Beans)

16 servings of either ham soup base or chicken soup base (I use Tone's bases cause I'm too cheap to use

the Penzey bases LoL. Most bases are 6 grams per teaspoon which makes one cup stock. Thus that would

be 96 grams aka 3.4 ounces of Tone's chicken base)

One medium onion halved, plus one medium onion diced

1 small bunch cilantro left whole, plus 1 small bunch cilantro chopped finely

1 to 2 jalapenos halved lengthwise, plus 1 to 2 jalapenos FINELY diced (you may cut jalapeno length wise and

gut it out completely of all seeds and VEINS and rinse in cold water or substitute 1 bell pepper divided if

you SERIOUSLY don't care for the heat)

2 to 4 whole garlic cloves

2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional, however it adds some body and darkness)

ground pepper to taste

Do not add additional salt YET. The base has PLENTY of salt.
