Pinto beans are often used in traditional Mexican and South American dishes. They are a small, speckled reddish-brown elongated bean. They have a soft, easily mashed texture when cooked and a nutty flavour.

How To Use:

Traditionally, pinto beans are combined with cumin, chilli and coriander powder in Mexican refried beans which is delicious inside burritos and quesadilla or served with tortilla chips as a dip. They’re also ideal for chilli, salsas and tacos, bean salads or combined with brown rice in wraps.

To prepare dried pinto beans, soak them overnight in plenty of cold water, rinse then cook for about 2 hours in water, broth, chilli or a casserole. Don’t add salt to the cooking water at this stage, as this can make the ‘skins’ tough and if cooking in broth, keep salt levels low for the first part of cooking until the beans start to soften.

Alternatively, dried pintos can be added directly to slow-cook recipes and cooked for about 4 to 6 hours. Unsoaked pinto beans will cook in about 45 – 60 mins in a pressure cooker.

Pinto Beans will almost double in weight when cooked. Use them in a mixed bean salad with olive oil, garlic and fresh herbs, lunchbox wraps, soups and broths or in a chilli hot-pot. Wonderful with fish, chicken, bacon or spicy sausage. They are a great choice for homemade baked beans.

Storage:
