Serves 8

These beans are flavorful and satisfying without actually being fried. Serve them with rice and salad, or as a filling for burritos.

2 cups dry pinto beans
6 cups water
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1-1/2 teaspoons cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt

Pick through the beans to remove any debris. Place in a large pot or bowl and add 6 to 8 cups of water. Soak at least 6 hours or overnight.

Pour off soak water and rinse beans. Place in a large pot with 6 cups fresh water. Add seasonings (except salt) and simmer, stirring occasionally, until desired consistency is obtained, 1 to 2 hours. Stir in salt to taste.
