Dressed Up Pintos

Alyson Stringer
Yield: 4-6 servings


I made these for an Easter Sunday meal and they were great! They went perfectly with mom’s famous BBQ chicken and they’re super easy! (April 2009)


1 Tbsp oil
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 tsp garlic, minced

1 medium green bell pepper, chopped 
1 tsp jalapeño pepper, minced
1 1/2 cups tomatoes, diced
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 large can pinto beans, with liquid
Dash of salt and pepper



Heat oil in heavy cooking pan. Add onion, garlic and chopped green pepper. Cook until barely soft. Add rest of ingredients. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
