Recipe of traditional charro beans
Cooking recipe to prepare, step by step, some delicious charro beans with pieces of puer co and much flavor, traditional Mexican style.For cooking, we will count two hours.
Meanwhile, we will use to cut the average diced onion, sausage/chop or ham in wheels or cubes, and bacon in pieces.
We will also wash the chile de árbol, we will remove the branch, the seed and the vein, and cut it into very small pieces.
In the case of garlic cloves, we will peel and chop them very finely.
The last thing we'll stop chopping are chorizo, tomatoes and cilantro. In both cases, they should be very well washed (I prefer to soak the cilantro for a few minutes in water with vinegar).
We finely chop the coriander leaves and in respect to the tomatoes, we will chop them into pieces. For the sausage, we will chop it on wheels.
Then, we will heat a pan to fry the bacon and the pieces of onion and garlic. We can take advantage of the natural fat that the bacon will release with the heat. In case you need more fat, you can add a little vegetable oil (I prefer not to do it).
After 4 minutes, add the chili and the pieces of sausage/chop or ham to the cooking. We will let everything cook 10 minutes, over medium - low heat. Then, we will turn off the mixture and reserve it.
After two hours of cooking of the beans, we will verify that they are soft (if not, it would be necessary to let them cook a little more).
Then, without turning off the cooking, we will add the mixture that we have previously prepared to the beans. We will also add cilantro, tomato, chorizo, half a teaspoon of pepper powder, half a teaspoon of cumin powder, concentrated chicken broth and a touch of additional salt.
Mix well and let the beans cook for 15 minutes more, over low heat.
After this time, we will check the seasoning of the beans. If necessary, we will correct it with more salt, pepper or even chicken broth.
That's it. Our charro beans are now ready to be served.
