    Can substitute pinto beans for black beans.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Chilaquiles in red salsa (Chilaquiles en salsa roja); Yellow mole with masa dumplings (Mole amarillito con chochoyotes); Mexican meatballs with mint and chipotle (Albóndigas con chipotle)

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Simple and delicious pot of beans. Nothing groundbreaking in terms of technique or ingredients, which really allowed my Rancho Gordo black beans to shine.

    I substituted pinto bean for the black beans. This recipe made a very large batch. I used the beans to make Charro Beans from Pati's Mexican Table page 218. I froze the leftovers and they reheated well in the microwave.
