Great recipe! Very simple and made as directed. Served with fish tacos. I think i will try with black beans, too. May try topping with cheese. thanks!

Good stuff! I usually cook a 4 pound bag of pinto beans and freeze it in quart size freezer bags. I used 1 of these bags with this recipe in place of 2 cans pintos. I used half of the salsa called for, because of the children. Otherwise, I made it just as shown here. We ate it with brown rice (family tradition to eat pintos with brown rice :-), cheese and tomatoes on tostada shells with a salad on the side.Thanks for another great way to use the pintos!
