Frijoles Borrachos (Drunken Beans)

By :Everyday Mexican Instant Pot Cookbook by Leslie Limon

Borracho beans are always a hit when served at potlucks or family gatherings. This boozy take on traditional cowboy beans (a.k.a. frijoles charros) gets an added kick of flavor with the addition of ice-cold Mexican beer. And did I mention that there’s also bacon in the mix? You can never go wrong with bacon and beer! Like most of the bean recipes in this book, hold off on seasoning with salt until after the beans are cooked, otherwise you’ll be left with hard, undercooked beans—or so says an old Mexican wives’ tale.

Everyday Mexican Instant Pot Cookbook by Leslie Limon

Leslie Limón is a food blogger who resides in a small town nestled in the Mexican highlands — just two hours north of Guadalajara — from where she shares her love of Mexican cuisine on her blog, La Cocina de Leslie. Raised by her Mexican grandparents in Redlands, California, Leslie grew up eating homemade, authentic Mexican food from the states of Sonora and Chihuahua. Her earliest memories of tacos are of helping to roll balls of masa and flattening them in a tortilla press while her grandmother gently laid them on a hot cast-iron comal. Leslie thought she knew just about everything there was to know about Mexican food, but upon moving to Mexico she discovered that Mexican food varies from state to state and sometimes even region to region. This book is a celebration of all things tacos, because a life without tacos is no life at all.
