South Texas Borracho Beans

South Texas Borracho Beans
  • 1 pound dried pinto beans
  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) bottle dark lager-style beer (such as Shiner Bock®)
  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 fresh jalapeno pepper


  1. Place pinto beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water. Soak beans 8 hours to overnight.
  2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towel to drain, reserving the bacon drippings. Chop the bacon.
  3. Drain and rinse pinto beans; transfer to a large pot. Pour enough water over the beans to cover by several inches Stir salt and garlic powder into the water; bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Add bacon, reserved bacon drippings, beer, cilantro, green onions, diced tomatoes, and jalapeno pepper to the water; bring mixture to a simmer and cook until the beans are completely tender, 90 minutes to 2 hours.
