- Instructional video on how to make the best possible authentic New Mexico beans. This is the basic preparation before they are to be refried.
Recipe
4 cups pinto beans
3 TBS lard
5 tsp salt
4 1/2 quarts water
Remove bad beans. In a 5-or-so quart pot, rinse healthy beans thoroughly at least two times. Fill with 4 1/2 quarts of water. Bring to rapid boil. Cover. Simmer 5 1/2 hours. Check to make sure beans have not risen above water. If they have, boil water in a small pan and add it to the pot so that the liquid level is above the beans. After 5 1/2 hours add salt and mash beans 10-15 times with potato masher. Stir. Return to boil and simmer another 30 minutes. Serve or re-fry.
I to am from albuquerque. moved to california then to indiana. My grandma made the best pintos in the world i thought. Infact over the years we have tried so hard to figure out how grandma made her beans not only tender but had that rich creamy gravy to them. After watching this video I tried just like you said. OMG after 45 years I finaly figured out how she did them. This was grandma's recipe. I mean this from bottom of my heart Thank you so much for this video
Thank you for telling me. I am pleased and proud that this helped you out. Thanks for watching!
I made your grandmother's beans the other day. As I said in my previous comment I was raised in NM and grew up on them. I'm in my 60's now. I can attest to anyone that reads this comment that these are the best pinto beans I've ever had in my life, period! You can take this recipe to the bank! I haven't lived in NM for decades and now live in California. As such, I don't have access to Fiesta brand (or other NM pinto beans) but I have discovered that Faraon brand beans (which can be found at Walmart) are pretty good. They do seem to cook a bit faster so be aware of that it you use those regarding the time. Mine took about 4 hours start to finish. I really hope you make more videos soon. Stacked enchiladas, red chili with pork, green chili stew, chili con carne, pozole, sopapillas (got to have the bear honey...), flour tortillas, etc. You're the real deal!
I'm New Mexican and I already knew that, been doing that all this time
Come back! Las Cruces girl here and like your style
Those beans look great I can't wait to try them. Also like the jazz music in the background right on👍

Thank you!
Many generations in my family are from New Mexico back to the early 1800's and we did eat with pieces of flour tortillas ..casitas:)
I'm so glad I found you
You are awesome I absolutely love the way you cook and I am going to follow your recipes
Thank you again
Thank you. I appreciate it very much. I hope you enjoy.
All of your dishes look great. These pinto beans look better than any I have seen thus far.
Good video. I love NM cooking.
Thank you!
I was born in Albuquerque and raised in Santa Fe until I was 8-years-old. I'm in my 60's now. Beans were always a thing in our house. I remember sorting them for my dad when I was like 3 or 4. He ended up with about three beans left by the time I was done. I miss New Mexico every day but have no desire to go back because of the tourists now. People actually tied up horses to those horseheads on the poles when I lived there. Going back to the beans though, I use the same Revere Ware pot you do but mine's one size bigger. Never get a glass-top stove you'll find out how rounded your pot's bottom has become. I guess you could say I make (New) Mexican jumping beans nowadays. Cheers!
I can't even imagine going back now. I picture everyone there now wearing beanies with little propellers on them and sipping on iced lattes through a curly straw. @@gretchenk.2516
New Mexican approved!
Yum!
Yes indeed. Thanks for watching!
I grew up in santa fe and I miss the plaza cafes breakfast pinto beans sooo bad I don't know what was in it maybe ground beef but it was incredible please do a video
Probably chorizo...?
Did you cover the beans when you cook them? I ask because I am visually impaired. Did you do the recipe for refried beans?
Yes, they need to be covered while simmering after they come to a boil. I have not done the refried yet. All you do is put them in a pan and cook on medium while smashing and stirring until you get the consistency you want. Thanks!😃
These turn down heat and cover
Sounds like Rollins or maybe Coltrane in the background
What does the lard do?
So how do you make the refried bean dip stuff
I don't make bean dip; that's not New Mexican. If you want to make refreid beans, just get a greased pan on medium heat, scoop the beans in there, mash and mix until it makes peaks. Voila
@@newmexicofood cool beans 😎
I will try this recipe. I've been searching for that certain taste. I'm real close but not quite there yet. I assume that you do more than just mash the beans to make refried beans, which is what I eat. Is that video out yet?
It's almost that simple. All you do is heat a pan to medium heat. If you want to, add some lard, and then add, constantly stir and smash the beans until they start making peaks. I will get that video up here soon. Thank you for watching!

How’s that Refried Beans video coming?
I made some for my kids a few weeks ago and it was the best we ever had, so I can’t wait to try your recipe.
Instead of lard I used rendered pig fat from the grocery store.
Cooking time will vary at the elevation you live at !!?
No, that's a common urban myth. I have made them at a mile high and right at sea level. Trust me, it's the same.
Elevation causes more problems with baking than cooking.
Yes,yes,yes,it takes longer in New Mex,than Calif.😂
Do you soak your beans? I’ve seen some recipes do that. Is that necessary?
No, the beans should not be soaked at all.
