  • 3. Mix in flour mixture stirring for 2-3 minutes. Then add red wine vinegar. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer with a lid for 2 hours adding more broth if needed till meat is very tender.
  • 4. When tender Add pinto and black beans, lime juice and half of the cilantro. Cook till mixture is heated all the way thru and then remove from heat and let sit. This helps all the ingredients incorporate together. Allow to cool completely.

  • 7. Serve them on a bed of lettuce and then put some tomatoes around the lettuce and spoon salsa on top with a dollop of sour cream and avocado on side. Sprinkle some cilantro over the sour cream.
  • 8. Serve with fried rice and a cold beverage.
