Welcome back to meals every señora should know how to make. Today we're making frijoles de olla. First, measure out 1 cup of pinto beans and rinse them really well under water until the water runs clear. While you're doing that, pick out any of the ugly ones, broken ones, or ugly looking ones. We don't want her. Add your beans to a pot. An easy ratio to remember is 4 cups of water for every 1 cup of beans. Add a quarter of an onion and add two garlic cloves. Then bring everything to a boil. Once it's boiling, lower the heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook beans for about an hour and a half. Make sure you check on them every once in a while because the water will evaporate as they cook. If they need just a little more water, add water if needed while cooking. Once they're cooked, now you can finally add salt at end of cooking NOT beginning. It's very important that you add the salt at the end and not in the beginning. And that's it. You have a fresh olla of frijoles. Another señora essential.
