Pinto Beans With Chiles image

I love beans in all shapes and forms, Mexican influenced particularly. I found this bean recipe in the 2008 issue of bon appetit. Although it calls for canned pinto beans, I alway make mine from dried. The taste is far superior and they're so easy to do either on the stovetop or in the crockpot.
