How To make Drunken Beans
7 ounces bacon
diced
1 large onion :
diced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups pinto beans :
soaked and drained
1 quart chicken stock or water
2 cups beer
4 jalapeno chiles (with seeds) thinly sliced
salt :
to taste freshly ground black pepper to taste 2 tablespoons cilantro :
chopped
In a large saucepan, saute the bacon over medium heat until the fat is rendered. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat and add the onion and garlic. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the beans, stock or water, and beer. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 1 hour, checking every 30 minutes or so. Add the jalapenos after the first 30 minutes of cooking, and add more broth or water as needed to keep the beans covered. When the beans are tender, season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cilantro, and serve.
Notes: Chef Stephan Pyles included this recipe in his cookbook __The New Texas Cuisine__, Doubleday, 1993, ($35.). He suggests serving Drunken Beans with Jalapeno-Stuffed Smoked Dove, Three Potato Salad and Rosy Relish, all included in his cookbook.

Crock Pot Borracho Beans (drunken beans)
A fun twist on pinto beans. Borracho means drunk in Spanish... and these beans get their drink on by adding some Mexican beer. This side dish is a solid winner rounded out with sauteed veggies and bacon before it simmers low and slow in the crock pot for hours. These remind me of a Mexican style baked beans or a different flavor combination that you could serve up like frijoles de la olla. I hope you enjoy this bean recipe as much as you like the instant pot frijoles de la Olla I did a while back.
NOTE: I do not recommend refrying these beans because the caldo/broth they cook in is very flavorful and it was overpowering when I tried to make them in to frijoles chinos.

BORRACHO BEANS: How to Make Delicious Drunken Beans/Frijoles Borrachos with Hatch Green Chile
If you've never had Borracho Beans before, you've been missing out because they're absolutely delicious. It's amazing how one bottle of beer can enhance the flavors that are packed into these Drunken Beans/Frijoles Borrachos. Among those flavors is Hatch green chile! Need I say more?! Read on for the recipe.
Borracho Beans
1 lb. pinto beans (sorted, cleaned, soaked in water overnight & drained)
6 cups of water
4 slices of bacon, cut into half inch pieces
4 roma tomatoes, cubed
5 Hatch green chiles (roasted, peeled & diced)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bottle of Mexican beer
salt to taste
Heat a large pot on the stovetop at medium high heat, then fry the bacon in the pot. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set aside, but leave the bacon grease in the pot. Drop in chopped onions, tomatoes, and chile and let it fry in the bacon grease, while stirring. Once onions are translucent and tomatoes have cooked down, add in minced garlic and cooked bacon. Then add in drained pinto beans, along with 6 cups water and 1 bottle of beer. Stir to combine and let it come to a boil. Once it boils, lower the heat and let beans cook for 2 hours. In the last half hour of cooking time, add in salt to taste.
The alcohol from the beer will cook out, but what the beer does is enhance all the flavors of the other ingredients. You'll be left with creamy, smoky, flavor-packed Borracho Beans.
