These were amazing and easy to make!!
I developed this recipe in an effort to duplicate the beans at Tia Rosa Taqueria in AZ, which are the best pinto beans I have ever had. These are really close, maybe even better. 😋 We always have some on hand (they freeze well) and use them in quesadillas, taco salad, burritos, and as dip with tortilla chips. So good!
