Frijoles Charros – Cowboy Beans

<h2 class="subheader">Cowboy Beans in Twenty Minutes</h2> Frijoles Charros (Cowboy Beans) is a rustic, soupy stew of pinto beans, simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce with bacon and chile. An authentic Mexican dish, it gets its name from the traditional Mexican horsemen called charros, who cooked their frijoles a la charra on the range, over an open fire. Here we create the same delicious effect much more quickly, with tender, canned GOYA® <a title="Pinto Beans (1)" href="https://goya.com/en/products/pinto-beans-can" data-id="5954">Pinto Beans</a>.
