I eat pinto beans all the time! They’re so versatile. You can make soup with the broth, mash them into refried beans, put them on tostadas, or use them in tacos and chili. Honestly, beans are good for everything.
My favorite recipe includes garlic, bay leaf, allspice, clove, black pepper, chili powder, MSG, and a little cinnamon. It’s spicy and flavorful, but I also enjoy simple beans with just onion and salt. Sometimes simple really is the best.

That sounds amazing! Sometimes I add tofu to the beans when mashing them. It thickens them up and adds some extra protein. The flavor stays mild too.
