Chef's Notes
Do not slice open that jalapeno unless you want a volcanic eruption of spice! Leaving it whole imparts a magnificent, aromatic warmth without burning off your tastebuds.
Pro Tip
Always use a dark lager like Shiner Bock for this recipe; lighter beers lack the deep, caramel notes required to truly elevate the humble pinto bean.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to watch your liquid levels can cause the beans to scorch at the bottom of the pot, turning your majestic borracho feast into a smoky, tragic charcoal experiment.
