Sort through 1 lb of pinto beans to remove stones and broken beans.

Cover the beans with water and use the quick soak method by boiling for 10 minutes, then letting them soak for an hour.

Drain and rinse the beans, then fill the pot with clean water and add the beans back in.

Add 2 cloves of garlic and 1 piece of onion to the pot with the beans.

Bring the pot back to a boil and cook the beans for about an hour, adding salt after 30 minutes.

In a small baking dish, add sliced tomatillos, 1 Roma tomato, pieces of onion, 1 jalapeno, and 2 cloves of garlic with skin on, then spray with avocado oil and air fry until charred.

In a pan with cooking oil, toast the rice, then add 1 cup of uncooked rice and 2 cups of chicken broth.

Stir in 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, cumin seeds, black pepper, and garlic powder, and bring to a simmer.

Cover and cook the rice for about 18 to 20 minutes without lifting the lid.

Once the beans are tender, add salt to taste and blend the salsa ingredients together after cooking.

Fluff the rice after letting it sit for 10 minutes, then serve the beans over the rice with salsa.
