Santa Maria Ranch-Style Beans image

I clipped this from a newspaper years ago, and it is one of the best bean recipes I've ever made. It can be a bit tricky to find dried pinquito beans, but try the produce section of bigger markets, or farmers markets or farm stands. If worse comes to worse you can find them at a couple of places online. It's worth the search! Great for parties and barbeques.
