- While beans are cooking cut and cook bacon, till its fully cooked and set aside.
- In another frying pan add 2 cups of ham and 2 cups of chopped smoked sausage.*Both cut into small cubes. Brown the ham and sausage for about 7-10 minutes, and set aside.
- Add the can of beer to your beans before the they are fully cooked and let simmer till the beans become fully cooked.
- When the beans are fully cooked, add the all the remaining ingredients into the pot ( a whole bunch of chopped cilantro, diced jalapeno peppers, diced onions, diced tomatoes, cooked bacon, ham, and sausage) . Let the beans come to a boil after you add the remaining ingredients. This recipe will not need salt because there is already enough of that coming from your beer, bacon and ham and sausage. The secret is in the cilantro and the beer. The more cilantro and beer the more flavorful!
- *For those of you that don't eat pork, you can use turkey ham, turkey bacon and turkey sausage. The taste is just as flavorful.

KIKI'S BORRACHO (DRUNKEN) BEANS
Growing up, my Mexican grandmother always had a pot of beans cooking on the stove. I often cook these beans (a 'drunken' version) for my family, and the aroma keeps her close to my soul, even years after she has past. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine.
