Turn on the stove and heat water until boiling.

Clean 1 kilogram of pinto beans by removing debris, stones, and bad beans.

Rinse the beans in water to remove dust and dirt.

Place the cleaned beans in a pot and let them boil for 1.5 to 2 hours.

After 1.5 hours, check the beans for tenderness.

Once tender, add 1 tablespoon of salt and let them boil for an additional 5 minutes.

Heat a skillet until very hot and add 1 tablespoon of lard.

Chop 1/2 of a purple onion finely and prepare to sauté it.

Once the lard is hot, carefully add the drained beans to the skillet.

Fry the beans until they are well browned and crispy, stirring occasionally.

Serve the beans with sautéed onion and optionally with fresh cheese or crackers.
