Mexican Pinto Beans
7 reviews


This recipe found its origin out on the range, with Mexican horsemen stewing spices and pinto beans in the great outdoors. You might be making it in your kitchen, but it has all the sweetness and tanginess you’d expect from a smoky, patiently-cooked camp meal. They're sort of like New England baked beans, but pinker and spicier. Say, is that a campfire we smell?

How it does good
Food made good for the good of all people
Food might not be created equal, but it isn’t distributed equally either. Communities and families all over the U.S. are unable to access the nutrients and high-quality ingredients they need due to limitations on budgets, free time, food education, and outdoor space. A Dozen Cousins knows the risks associated with these issues, including diabetes and diet-related illnesses, and they believe good, healthy food should be available to all people, regardless of location or income level. By offering plant-based, non-GMO ingredients at a lower price point, they’re making food more affordable and easier to find. They also offer annual grant support and volunteer their time to help out communities and unlock the gates to better food for everyone.
Every year, A Dozen Cousins donates funds and time to a non-profit trying to close the health gap in the US. In 2019, they partnered with The Happy Kitchen/La Cocina Alegre to teach fifty families about nutritious, budget-friendly meals from their own cultures. By making traditional Black- and Latino-inspired products, they're bringing African, Spanish, and Indigenous dishes to the forefront.

About the Brand
A Dozen Cousins

He started A Dozen Cousins, inspired by his daughter and her 11 cousins, so that it would be easier to enjoy authentic cultural recipes made with wholesome ingredients. Today, A Dozen Cousins is on a mission to eliminate socioeconomic health disparities in the US.

flavorful!
yummy! I really liked these beans. They packed a ton of flavor.

Easy & Flavorful
Love these Mexican Pinto Beans for a really quick weekday meal. Just open a little and pop them in the microwave for 60 seconds and they're done! Have had simply served over rice and incorporated them into taco night. Both have been big hits with zero effort.

Spicy but good
Not too spicy and very good. Mixed with rice they were perfect.

Spicy!
I noticed in the ingredients these contain jalapeno powder as well as dried green chili powder and cilantro. I like all that, but I never put that combination in my beans when I cook them. I always use cumin. These were not terrible, but tasted strange to me and too spicy. Just not what I was looking for in pintos.

Dissapointed
Didn't like at all. Consistency was very sticky and very bland taste.
