CHARRO BEANS (cowboy beans) is a traditional Tex Mex dish, they are made with Pinto Beans in a delicious broth that is packed with flavor. CHARRO BEANS are named after the traditional Mexican cowboy horseman or charros. It is a perfect side dish that goes perfect with Carne Asada, Beef or Chicken Fajitas, or the traditional Mexican Sopas (stews). I love seasoning the broth with tomato flavored chicken bouillon, pepper and adding bacon, sausage, onions, garlic, tomatoes, jalapeños and cilantro for sure, but the beauty of the Charro Beans is that you can mske them your own by adding what you want...some people like to use chorizo, ham, pork or weenies, and it's all good too. Charro Beans were always a must side dish when I was growing up, especially when we barbequed on weekends or for family gatherings, Charro Beans have been a tradition in my family and I have kept the tradition going as an adult.
