Frijoles

Frijoles

I searched all of the recipes for frijoles, and none are close to real Mexican beans. The canned ones are only a pale imitation of the real beans simmering all day on the stove. They’re easy to make and inexpensive too. Don’t soak and drain the beans overnight as per American or European bean recipes. Cook them in their own liquid.
