Homemade Pinto Beans or Frijoles Recipe made with chico's & ham hocks | Easy to Make!

Put 3 cups of pinto beans into a sifter and clean them by looking for bad beans and rocks.

Transfer the cleaned beans into an electric cooker pot.

Add diced onions and fresh garlic to the pot with the beans.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt to the pot.
