Chef Omar Flores' tips to tailgating like a pro! Borracho Beans Recipe

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

beer

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic beer

💰Cheaper: chicken broth

Non-alcoholic beer provides similar flavor without alcohol.

Soak dry black beans in water overnight to absorb water and reduce cooking time.

In a pan, add diced hickory smoked bacon and cook until crispy.

Add fresh garlic and fresh onion to the pan with the bacon and sauté until fragrant.

Add diced tomatillo and jalapeño to the pan; sauté briefly.

Add canned tomatoes (skin included) to the pan.

Add soaked black beans to the pan.

Stir in ground cumin, smoked paprika, and Mexican oregano.

Cook the beans for about 30 minutes until they are halfway tender before adding seasoning.

Season with salt, black pepper, and lime juice to taste after the beans are tender.

Serve the borracho beans in a cup or bowl.
