Charro Beans

Posted on June 8, 2021 by Lanie Fioretti

When I can’t find my favorite Charro or Borracho beans, it’s pretty easy to put them together.  La Costena Charro Beans are awfully good, just heated.  And I love HEB Borracho beans with Shiner Bock, but I usually add browned ground beef or deer, bacon, and spices.  While we really like my homemade version with mayocabo beans, it’s a bit of trouble.  So, canned pinto beans make this recipe easy and delicious.
