The BEST!

The flavours are fantastic, the texture is perfect and I can’t believe that there was no presoaking……this is a definite keeper and will be worked into my rotation 🙂

I’ve made these a few times and I’m making them again tomorrow! They are delicious. Tomorrow we will eat them with white rice and cheese then later in the week, we will eat them with cilantro lime rice in burritos.
Thanks for the yummy recipe!

Thank you Mary! Here are freezing directions:
Freezing Leftover Pinto Beans
Begin by labeling air-tight freezer bags. Let beans cool completely and then scoop beans into prepared freezer bags. Leave plenty of space in the bags for expansion. Seal and transfer to the freezer until you need them. Beans keep in the freezer for about 6 months.
Thawing: You can add frozen beans directly to recipes like chili or beans and rice. (They thaw quickly in the pot.) For recipes where you need to start with thawed pinto beans, pull them out the night before and let them thaw in the fridge, or for a quicker thaw, add the sealed bag to a large bowl of cool water until thawed through.

The flavor is amazing!! This recipe makes quite a lot (at least for two people). Do you think I can freeze it in freezer bags?

I used my instapot to make these for some messy burritos. The flavour is fantastic and we’re a bit with the whole family. A little soupy when eaten right after cooking ( unused my immersion blender to purée a bit) but it thickened up as it cooled and will make a fantastic salad topping for much tomorrow.

Would I be able to freeze these in half pint mason jars?
