I got this recipe from a little old lady who ran a cantina near the beach in Ensanada Mexico. Black beans are the best for this recipe. If the color throws you use red.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons oil
2 jalapenos, chopped fine
2 medium onions, chopped medium
4 garlic cloves, minced (not traditional) (optional)
4 (14 ounce) cans black beans (or red kidney or pink kidney-black has the most flavor)
1 (12 ounce) can beer
Directions:
1. In a large pan saute the onions and garlic to just translucent.
2. Add the jalapenos and continue to saute until JUST beginning to brown.
3. Add the beans, 2 cans rinsed and drained, two with juice.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for around 1 1/2 hours, adding beer as needed.
5. You don't want the beans to dry out.
6. If there's any remaining beer left drink it.
7. Sometimes 2 cans are needed.
8. Don't add salt until dish is done and taste first.
