Bean Recipes

Whether tepary, bolita, Anasazi, or pinto-- once beans are cooked, they generally can be used interchangeably. Teparies (higher in fiber than most) will retain their shape the best and take the longest to cook. Bolitas are one of the creamiest beans and cook like pintos. Cooking times depend on the age of the beans-- the fresher they are, the faster they'll cook. For general bean cooking instructions and awesome recipes Download the recipes: English>> | Spanish>>
