Boiled Pinto Beans - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 22

Boiled pinto beans are a quick side dish for a meal when in a hurry. It's not the same flavor as baked with onions and ham, though it does provide a touch of comfort. They do need to boil longer than some beans so that they produce less air when the good stomach bacteria begin to breaks them down while digesting. Boiled pinto beans can be fried with two tablespoons of oil to create the base of refried beans to be used in tacos. This is a slow process, and the beans will burn easily if they are not stirred frequently.
