Ingredients

5 cups (or more) water

1 pound dried pinto beans, picked over, rinsed

1 12-ounce bottle of dark beer

1 cup chopped onion

4 bacon slices, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

1 jalapeño chili, seeded, finely chopped

1 teaspoon minced canned chipotle chilies

1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese

1/2 cup chopped seeded tomato

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Combine 5 cups water and next 7 ingredients in heavy large pot. Gently simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until beans are tender and liquid is reduced enough to cover beans by 1 inch, adding more water if necessary and stirring occasionally, about 2 1/2 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)

Garnish beans with cotija cheese, chopped tomato and cilantro
