Borracho Beans

Ingredients:
3 cups of pinto beans
3 quarts of water
1 beer
1 ham hock
1 lb. bacon
1 medium sweet yellow onion
4-6 garlic cloves
2 serrano peppers
3 roma tomatoes
1 cup cilantro
sea salt to taste

Directions:

Sort through the beans and discard any small rocks and other debris. Place in a large bowl and rinse several times. Lift beans out by hand into a clean bowl. Fill bowl with water and soak beans overnight.

Boil 3 quarts of water with beans, ham hock, and beer. If you are cooking on a stove it should take about 2-2 1/2 hours (alternatively, you can use a crock pot). When the beans are light brown and soft, add salt and serrano peppers. Cut bacon and fry along with garlic and onions and then add to the beans. Lastly, add cilantro and fresh tomatoes. Enjoy!
