Mexican Pinto Beans

These simple, flavorful pinto beans are a true kitchen staple — hearty, nourishing, and endlessly versatile. Perfect for meal prepping, they’re a lifesaver on busy days when you need something wholesome and ready to go. Serve them over warm brown rice with creamy avocado, fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime for a vibrant, plant-based meal that satisfies every time. My teenagers love these beans, and I love having a pot ready in the fridge to create quick rice and bean bowls, wraps, and easy lunches throughout the week!
Place the dry beans into a medium-sized bowl and cover with several inches of water. Let them soak for 8 to 24 hours on your counter. Then rinse and drain through a colander.
