Ingredients
Preparation method
Preparing the aromatic base and browning the bacon
Cut the sliced bacon into strips or cubes of about 1 cm. Finely chop the yellow onion, dice the tomatoes into small cubes, mince the garlic cloves, and thinly slice the jalapeño pepper (remove the seeds if you prefer milder heat).
In a spacious saucepan or deep frying pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned and crispy.
Add the chopped onion to the browned bacon and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent and golden. Add the minced garlic and jalapeño slices, cooking for another 1 minute until the flavours blend.
Chef's tip
For an even creamier texture, you can gently mash a small portion of the beans with a spatula during simmering.
Frijoles Charros can be enjoyed as is with a spoon, or used as a rich filling directly in warm tortillas.
