step by step
Method
- Step 1
Cook the beans
- Add the water to a pot with the onion and garlic cloves.
- Add the washed pinto beans and the bay leaves.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer on low until the beans are semi-soft.
- Step 2
Season the beans
- Add the salt and garlic salt, adjusting to taste.
- Keep cooking on a low flame until the beans are fully cooked and tender.
- Step 3
Fry the beans
- Heat the lard in a pan over medium-high heat with a piece of onion to gauge the heat and add flavor.
- Add the desired amount of beans with some of their broth, not all of it.
- Smash with a bean smasher until you reach the desired consistency.
- Step 4
Adjust and serve
- If the beans look dry, stir in a little more broth, as they will set as they cool.
- Serve as is or with your favorite sides.
