Frijoles Charros (Charro Beans) is a great comfort food during these cold days or anytime. 😁

I cooked it in the air fryer so it was pretty quick & easy once I got all the ingredients ready.

If you would like to make this dish, here is my recipe:

Ingredients:

6 pieces of bacon cut in small pieces
1/2 pound chorizo
1/2 medium onion diced
3 garlic cloves minced
1 small jalapeno pepper, cleaned and diced
4 weiners chopped
1 package of ham lunch meat chopped
3 roma tomatoes roasted in the air fryer for 5 minutes and chopped (roasting is optional)
1 pound of pinto beans, rinsed
1 cup fresh chopped cilantro, around a 1/2 a bunch
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 cups of chicken stock
1 bay leaf
extra water as needed

Directions:

Put a little olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onions, jalapeno & garlic for a minute.

Add the bacon & chorizo to the pan and continue cooking for about 5 more minutes until the bacon looks cooked & the chorizo is browned.

Put these ingredients in the air fryer.

Add the weiners, ham, tomatoes, pinto beans, cilantro and spices to the pot. Add the 6 cups of chicken stock and bay leaf.

Cover & cook for 8 to 10 hours on low heat or 4 to 5 hours on high, until the beans are cooked.

Add extra water while cooking if the level gets too low. It should be less thick than a stew & more like a soup.

That is it - all ready to enjoy! I hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! 🤗

Have a wonderful day! 🥰
