Best Arizona Cactus And Beans Recipes
TEXAS-STYLE SLOW-COOKED FRIJOLES
Pinto beans are slowly cooked to perfection with smoked bacon, jalapenos, and cilantro. This is an easy recipe I learned from my friend's grandmother in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. This recipe can be adjusted to taste and is a dietary staple in south Texas. Great for barbecues and potlucks! Make sure the beans are covered by liquid at all times. The longer you cook it, the better it is. Serve with flour tortillas or as a side dish in bowls.

Steps:
- Pour pinto beans into the bottom of a big saucepan or soup pot. Add water, bacon, jalapenos, cilantro, and garlic and bring to a simmer, about 10 minutes. Pour in 1 can light beer when beans are warmed.
- Simmer beans, stirring every couple of minutes, until bacon has completely cooked down and beans begin to break, 3 to 6 hours total. Pour in remaining beer as needed when liquid has evaporated and beans aren't completely covered, roughly every 2 hours. Cover and keep warm until serving.

CHEF JOHN'S SANTA MARIA-STYLE BEANS
Classic Santa Maria-style beans are made with a special variety of pink beans called pinquitos. These 'little pink' beans are prepared in a spicy, smoky, tomato/chili sauce that's spiked with not one, but two kinds of pork. Santa Maria beans have come into my life relatively late, so I plan on making up for lost time this barbecue season.

Steps:
- Place pink beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water; let stand 8 hours to overnight. Drain.
- Place drained beans in a stockpot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a simmer and cook until almost completely tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
- While beans are simmering, cook and stir bacon in a large saucepan over medium heat until cooked through but not crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add ham; cook and stir until ham is heated through, about 1 minute. Stir garlic into ham mixture and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add tomatoes, 1/2 cup water, ketchup, sugar, dry mustard, paprika, chili powder, salt, chipotle chile powder, and oregano. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook until flavors blend, about 30 minutes.
- Drain beans, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Combine beans, reserved liquid, and tomato mixture in the beans stockpot; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender and mixture has thickened, about 30 minutes.
