I’ve been Plant based SOS for the last twelve years. I can’t thank you enough for finally making my life easier, I can finally get out of the kitchen and have a life but still maintain my diet.
Been vegetarian for about 20 years and just recently went vegan about 9 months ago. This channel is the best!! Thanks Dillon and Reebs for totally inspiring me!
I saw my MD yesterday... He said, "Other than the meds we've been prescribing, you're an anomoly. Most people in your situation are long gone." I smiled and replied "Being an SOS Vegan is the answer." He didn't understand and didn't seem interested (which IS THE PROBLEM!) I'm 66 now. I had a quintuple (5) heart bypass at 38. My Dad died at 40, Mom at 50, and my Grandpa at 52. I'm the last, and now the LONGEST-living male on my Paternal side. Why Doesn't the Medical Field understand this!!!? Oh HECK, I forgot! This recipe for Charro Beans and Pico reminds me of my young years in Imperial Valley, California (minus all the meat and crap). These are SO DELICIOUS and way healthier! Dillion and Reebs, thank you SO MUCH. Keep up the great work - you are appreciated! :) XOXO!
Sometimes at the end of the day I feel sick of beans and lentils because I am full. The next day when hunger builds again, I find them appealing again. This is how it is supposed to works. Unlike when I ate processed food and never felt full for more than 10 minutes.
I went plant based a year ago and you and your products are saving me I still have a long way to go but so far I have lost over a hundred pounds with the help of your yummy product Thank You so much!!!
If you don't have a pressure cooker/instapot, it's easy to soak the beans for 12-24 hours, changing the water 2-3 times (reduces gas). Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to just simmer them. Normally this takes 2 hours for 2c dried beans, but if you add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp baking soda, it reduces cooking time by about half (it's a little foamy at first) and it reduces gas. Use some now and freeze the rest in mason jars. Also, mashing the beans is great for some dishes, and you wind up eating more beans that way.
I find that salt (as well as anything acidic) prevents beans from softening well. I think it's vital to soak beans before cooking (vegetarian since '72, vegan not long thereafter), even when using a pressure cooker...overnite in cold water on counter. They can be soaked, then rinsed, then frozen in cooking size batches. Then they're ready to cook. I do this with chick peas (for making falafel/you don't cook them in advance) and for kidneys when making Minestrone soup (in the IP). That soup cooks in zero or one minute, then release pressure. You can even add the pasta to the pot, but we prefer the pasta cooked otherwise. So delicious & lasts 2 ppl several meals, esp if you add cornbread (make waffles from your batter/freeze them) or leftover biscuits, etc. I use a lot of kidney beans in it (cook in the IP one hour after soaking, & cook till it makes a thick gravy; makes the soup so much better). Thx Dillon. Your beans & pico look awesome. Love how you & Reebs interact. ❤️
No, I don't dry the beans. The more you eat beans, the less they will bother you, concerning "gas". It's a fact of the human condition & some of our food combinations, too. But it doesn't have to be a problem.
When ready to use the frozen beans, you can thaw them at room temp (if home is warm, be cautious not to let them sit too long & sour) or in frig (less time), but I generally will just pour boiling water over them, let sit a few mins, then drain: ready to use.
Hallo Dillon and Reebs! We have a similar traditional bean recipe in Greece which uses the same ingredients plus carrots and red pepper flakes instead of jalapeno peppers (because we cannot find them here). I'm always fascinated by the fact that different cultures have been making almost identical healthy and delicious recipes for centuries. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!
“Your lunch is ready when it makes a noise” 😂 I found your channel today and am enjoying your videos. I’m working towards going more plant based and it’s so intimidating but you and Reebs are helping alleviate some nerves.
OMG! I tried this recipe last weekend. It's amazing!!! The quantity in makes is awesome too. We were eating beans all week. Thank you for sharing this. This recipe will be on repeat every week or two.
Love it... My favorite breakfast is a "haystack" which is basically a "taco salad" you start with the chips and each ingredient is stacked on top of each other... Add your beans, lettuce, onion, tomato and avocado and whatever else you might think that would be good, then put on some green taco sauce.. Boom!!! go enjoy. This breakfast fills you up and keeps you full for a good while..
OMG you are my spirit animal!!! I went vegan in 2018 and thinking first what tastes did I like helped to zero in on what I wanted to eat. Fast forward to today and I use my instant pot (for about the past 4 years) to prep my dry beans (6 C water, salt, Mex chili powder or hot chili powder and chili powder - yes, 2 kinds) so I can use them in whatever recipe I choose. The only beans I don't quick soak are my black beans but since I love this taste, all beans get prepped the same and portioned onto containers to deep freeze. Never cooked a complete meal before (in the Instant pot) so I will be doing yours in the next couple of hours after work. It looks devine!! Thanks for sharing. (Just looked at your shirts and thought of another - "Did I Pico your interest?" or something like that 😉)
The grocery stores near me sell frozen organic peppers and onions. It was on sale this week 2 for $4. My friend and I talked and both of us tend to end up buying fresh vegetables and then come home exhausted, late from work and we end up having our produce go bad. Both of us buy frozen pre-prepped veggies because of that. It really helps. And, nutritionally, they can have more nutrients than fresh veggies (unless the fresh veggies were just picked)
@@wishingb5859 I started doing that a few years ago too because I'd found that I was wasting a lot of money because I was not consuming my fresh produce fast enough. It would spoil. So now I purchase quite a bit of my veggies, and even some fruit (e.g. wild blueberries, pineapples, mangos, etc) frozen. People really underestimate frozen produce by thinking it's inferior, but it's not. Also, the bonus is that frozen produce is less expensive than fresh produce. 😊
@@WellYourWorld but don't miss out on produce sales, such as onion & peppers, when you have time to "mess with them". Broccoli & such must be blanched to last any time at all but onions & peppers which most of us use daily/often, can be cut up without blanching before freezing. If you can get 4 large green peppers for $2, it's worth the time to cut & freeze in snack size bags. Put all the loose bags in leftover plastic (cereal bags work well) & label it, and mark in your mind "where in the freezer" you've placed it (lol, senior moments).
You made chili. That's what this is. I make this all the time and mix up ingredients thinking I'm creating something unique. I always say to myself later, "this is just chili." Love the videos. Keep up the good work.
I love how you keep it simple AND delicious 😋. I do recommend folks soak their beans if they can remember to - I've tried both ways and my gut has a much easier go of it with the presoaked method. Not required, just suggested. Love to the whole fam 💕!
Yep, i would SOAK the pintos also...do you cut the liquids going into this also if you soak the beans? No way can I do the 2 pounds of beans for me....I live alone. Thanks for any tips!
Took these to the next level by adding 1 tsp of liquid smoke into the beans before cooking ! Tastes like they just came off the charro’s campfire out on the range 🤤
This is awesome! I started my whole foods plant-based journey on July 1, 2023 and haven’t looked back. These kinds of recipes keep me loving the plant-based lifestyle, so easy and flavorful.
I LOVE PINTO BEANS!!! I eat beans nearly every day... this recipe is EXACTLY what I love ... just dump it all in the instant pot and instant bean love ☺️ Your pico recipe sounds good too. I'd also serve this with farro or rice for extra comfort food feel.... thank you for the great video 🙏💕
OMG❣️ Made these today … so delicious & the Pico was best I’ve ever made. Never would have thought of adding it on top of beans, but it was killer good 👍 Thank you for sharing
I bought all of the ingredients yesterday for these Charro Beans.......I've got them in the instant pot right now.........there is ALREADY a wonderful aroma coming from the pot........I can hardly wait until they are done!!! Thank you sooooo very much, Dillon, for yet another fantastic recipe!!
I love recipes for the IP with dried beans! I have all ingredients and will make tomorrow. And thanks for the “make-and-take” tips! This video is a winner. Thank you.
I've been making this for a few decades or so and sometimes I"ll add a little corn or sometimes mushrooms for a "meaty" texture, sometimes some potatoes, the sky's the limit. I do use the saute feature though and simply turn it one while I'm getting my ingredients out and then as I chop the onions, they go in, the peppers, etc. and when I'm done chopping they're partially sautéed and if I want I can continue for a few minutes or just add everything else. Also, for those whose tummy's don't like unsoaked beans, put them on the stove, boil for a minute or two, let them sit for about an hour, rinse and voila, your tummy will be happy. Thanks for the video!
I just discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your Mexican Bean recipe. I love beans.! It will be 3 years March 2023, since I have been a vegan and I am loving it. You guys definitely have a new subscriber on all of your platforms. ❤
Definitely reminiscent of the old days! That batch of pico is a joke compared to the monster batches you use to make! lol Thanks for the video Dillon & Reebs! 💕
I have to add that this made a huge amount. I froze a bunch of one cup containers of these, and they have come in handy so many times when I didn't feel up to cooking. We just got back from an overseas trip and were terribly jet lagged. My husband was amazed at the different delicious meals I put together for us so quickly using these beans as a base.
Great easy recipe. Whenever I make a pot I eat it up within a few days and then need something else! But I usually use canned beans because the dry beans seem to be more gassy causing bloat!
Holy Flavors Batman! This recipe was YUMMY! And it was so easy - my family of 4 LOVED it - So glad it made so much! We ate for 2 nights (with chips, steamed greens and crunchy jicama) and I still have 3 cups worth to freeze! Perfection.
I’ve been eating plant based now 2 weeks ! I gave up my love for eggs. I just had A/ fib 2 weeks ago. And I take thyroid meds .so I really want to eat healthier! I need all the help starting my lifestyle of vegan! My wife and I go out for date every. Week. Tonight we’re doing chili’s. I found a black and bean burger . Or Mexican corn rap! I’ve been eating oatmeal filled with blueberries. And a smoothie filled with blueberries and blackberries.
In my nu wave I pot I soak my beans but they are wonderfully done and nice and soft in 30 minutes with natural release or if I am in a hurry instant release.maybe the less time is because I soak them
I’ve been looking for a recipe like this! Also, I limit my sodium because I cook for my dad and he has a heart issue ... so, perfect! Not sure how that amount of beans will affect my GI tract but great recipe!
I saw this video about 2 weeks ago and finally got myself some pinto beans to make this recipe, and OMG, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this page. I giggled at the term " village-sized batch of pico", but now I'm going attempt my own huge batch. Thankyou for sharing this!!
OMG these are sooooo good! I used bagged frozen onions/peppers to make it even easier, and added in a half bag of frozen kale, and wow!! I am putting this in my recipe binder! YUM! Thank you for sharing it :)
Re-watching this a year latter. I’m going to try this with the new WYW dried veggie stock! I’ve been making everything with the veggie stock and it adds a lot of flavor to my meals!
I enjoyed watching this from our friends' villa near Puerto Villarta, Mexico (don't hate!). This recipe beats the heck out of the street restaurants here which are full of oil and salt!! :)
Hey Dillon and Reebs, you also need to update the recipe with a can of no salt added tomato sauce. 😂 Can't wait to make these tonight! Love the channel! I've watched this video 3 times already.
@@WellYourWorld Me too although I dont do it anymore either but I loved the exercise outdoors and every job is different location etc..))) You mentioned you were a boss really cool)))
Love your videos. I’ve been binge watching ha ha. Would you ever serve this over rice or potatoes, especially rice, if you are needing to up your protein? Or is that too much starch?
I love your videos! I just became a vegan a while ago and I just made your salsa that I been paying for at the store for a long time and wasted lot of money!! And the beans are soooo good! My girlfriend that I am with isn’t vegan and she don’t like beans! The 2 pounds I made will last a lifetime! Next time I will cut it in half and the recipe! Just got the instant pot and I don’t know why it took me so long for getting one! Can I put half the batch in mason jars and put them in the freezer? What’s the best way to freeze?
@@mynewjourney6803 Mercola is absolutely right on this but dead wrong on other things. I encourage you to find a more legitimate source for nutrition advice. One good place is the Nutrition Facts channel on YT and website.
I wish you put the episode list on each video. I'm watching you on my smart TV with no option of joining so I can find those recipes. Watching episode 97 on TV can't find it on my tablet cause I can register on my tablet so I can get your recipes
I have a question about the chips. Did you make them? If so, how is there a video for that? I went to your blog, but did not see any information about the chips you ate with the beans and pico. Great recipe!
Dillon shows how he does chips on his nacho video; he tosses whole tortillas directly on the oven rack and breaks them up afterward (so much easier than cutting and arranging).
These look yummy going to make them for the weekend. I've been to Mexico many times and I find their beans and guacamole very bland - I like our spiced up versions much better.
Should you soak and rinse ur grains and beans for pressure cooking to remove the antinutruents or does pressure cooking automatically reduce them? You can tell ur plant based diet is having a positive impact. Ur skin is glowing and clear. Not clogged from mucus forming dairy and processed seed oils. Makes a huge difference.
This looks amazing and I'm going to attempt to make it in my crockpot since I don't have an instant pot. How long would you recommend cooking it for? Thanks!!
When you get Mexican chili powder is it one that says Mexican chili powder on it or is there another name. I don’t think I’ve Sean chili powder with that name.
I’ve been Plant based SOS for the last twelve years. I can’t thank you enough for finally making my life easier, I can finally get out of the kitchen and have a life but still maintain my diet.
12 years very impressive!
@@WellYourWorld I need to send you before and after pics. I’ve got lots of stories, etc. I lost sixty pounds in the first year.

OMG, this is SO good! I can't get enough! Thank you
Hey Dillon and Reebs, you also need to update the recipe with a can of no salt added tomato sauce. 😂 Can't wait to make these tonight! Love the channel! I've watched this video 3 times already.
Fixing that right now thank you!
I've made your charro beans before but it's been a lonnng time. Now I must make some! I love dipping the chips too!
Finally someone noticed this one was a remake! I’ve improved a couple things since then.
Plant based eating made simple!!! Love it, thanks Reebs and Dillon’

Oh my! I am going to make a pot!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the video. Looks like a dream and tasty. 👍
It really is, I hope you enjoy the recipe!
"That may be true, but I don't care." Same.
You are making me so hungry!! We're those homemade chips? You have such great videos!
Yes, we use tortillas from the local Mexican market!
Thank you. I love this one
On my 2nd week of batching up instant pot chili. Windows has the chili bean blend in their bulk section- 4 types of beans. #winning
Oh awesome!!
Made this today. Loved it. I top it up with crunchy, chopped green peppers.
Would this apply to any dry bean without soaking in the smartpot??
I have these going in my instapot right now.
Great recipes! I did some roofing hard work!!!!
Sure is! I do love construction though!
@@WellYourWorld Me too although I dont do it anymore either but I loved the exercise outdoors and every job is different location etc..))) You mentioned you were a boss really cool)))
Pumpkin and potatoes
Love your videos. I’ve been binge watching ha ha. Would you ever serve this over rice or potatoes, especially rice, if you are needing to up your protein? Or is that too much starch?
Looks good, thanks!
It really is! Enjoy the recipe, Connie!
I love your videos! I just became a vegan a while ago and I just made your salsa that I been paying for at the store for a long time and wasted lot of money!! And the beans are soooo good! My girlfriend that I am with isn’t vegan and she don’t like beans! The 2 pounds I made will last a lifetime! Next time I will cut it in half and the recipe! Just got the instant pot and I don’t know why it took me so long for getting one! Can I put half the batch in mason jars and put them in the freezer? What’s the best way to freeze?
While we do not freeze recipes, we have heard that this recipe freezes well. You can use mason jars or any other containers that are freezer-safe!
Wow looks so good. I will make it on Saturday
Hope you enjoy!
@@WellYourWorld sure I will. I need to start using my pressure cooker. It’s been sitting for an year and haven’t used it
Also, I want to say that it’s super hard to find good salt free recipes. Thanks!
I'm glad you found us! All of our recipes are salt, oil, and sugar free!
Wow ..I’m cutting sugar (to decrease inflammation) and I just heard Dr. Mercola say that seed oils are really bad for you. Perfect .. thanks!
@@mynewjourney6803 Mercola is absolutely right on this but dead wrong on other things. I encourage you to find a more legitimate source for nutrition advice. One good place is the Nutrition Facts channel on YT and website.
Going to make it now
I wish you put the episode list on each video. I'm watching you on my smart TV with no option of joining so I can find those recipes. Watching episode 97 on TV can't find it on my tablet cause I can register on my tablet so I can get your recipes
How many cups of dried pinto beans? The recipe is missing this. Thank you 💓
Good catch! Updating it now!
@@WellYourWorld Thank you! Was wondering the same thing!
I did a 3 quart version. I used half of the ingredients, did not saute. I use two jalapenos
Hi DILLON and REEBS 💖🙏🏻💖💖
Hi Valerie!! 😁
I have a question about the chips. Did you make them? If so, how is there a video for that? I went to your blog, but did not see any information about the chips you ate with the beans and pico. Great recipe!
Dillon shows how he does chips on his nacho video; he tosses whole tortillas directly on the oven rack and breaks them up afterward (so much easier than cutting and arranging).
ALSO, your garlic list missed frozen garlic, my fave. 😊
That is also a great option, just more difficult to use in a cold dish like this!
I love Costco's cheater garlic! Way better than mincing my own garlic and getting my fingers all sticky.
These look yummy going to make them for the weekend. I've been to Mexico many times and I find their beans and guacamole very bland - I like our spiced up versions much better.
Yes! So important to add lots of flavor like this, from real food ingredients.
I’m making this as I type this message to take for work lunch this week! Have you ever served this over rice Dillon?
Yes! It is great with rice!
Your hilarious! Definitely trying this recipe!
Looks excellent!!🎉🌱🎊🌱🎉
Should you soak and rinse ur grains and beans for pressure cooking to remove the antinutruents or does pressure cooking automatically reduce them?
You can tell ur plant based diet is having a positive impact. Ur skin is glowing and clear. Not clogged from mucus forming dairy and processed seed oils. Makes a huge difference.
Anti-whats!? Forget about all that and just make the food the way you like it best.
Can you put a link in for that thermos? That would work great for my husband.
Sure can! amzn.to/3JexZ4H
This looks amazing and I'm going to attempt to make it in my crockpot since I don't have an instant pot. How long would you recommend cooking it for? Thanks!!
Soak beans overnight, it will take longer. Probably 5-6 hours.
When you get Mexican chili powder is it one that says Mexican chili powder on it or is there another name. I don’t think I’ve Sean chili powder with that name.
Awesome!!!
Thanks 👍
Is there a brand of tortilla chips that are close to SOS viable or is it always down to making them at home?
We often find compliant tortillas at local Mexican markets and most grocery stores here in AZ!
looking good!
Hi Buff! XOXO
Is there a crockpot version of this? I don't own an instant pot.
