Mexican Frijoles Charro
It’s easy to get flavor from bacon. It’s not always that easy to get it from vegetables in a bean dish, where the bean flavor can be overpowering. I decided to try making a sort-of Sofrito to lend flavor to the beans, and to use canned fire-roasted tomatoes. I used fire-roasted in this Mexican Frijoles Charro recipe for the flavor and canned for the ease and the freshness of the tomatoes. This combination worked out very well for me. The beans were flavorful and creamy thanks to the Instant Pot, and flavorful with all the vegetables. I don’t think you’re meant to be drinking these beans as though they were soup, but I suspect I’ll be doing that. So flavorful! I need to freeze some for the lunch with my friends before I eat too many of those. Looking for more delicious Mexican recipes? Check out my Air Fryer Chile Rellenos!
