Frijoles

I made these yesterday = DELISH:

1 package pinto beans, rinsed well
1 red jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 large garlic clove, minced
3-4 slices peppered bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 t. veg. oil
1 t. cumin
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper
Small tostadas
Queso Fresco cheese, crumbled
Pico de Gallo
Avocado, diced

Put beans into a large heavy pot of pretty heavily salted water to cover beans by 1" Add next 9 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and cook til beans are soft - about 2 hours, stirring occasionally, and the water has been absorbed. Stir well, adding a little more oil if desired, at this point. Serve on crispy tostadas with the cheese, Pico de Gallo, and avocado.

Have FUN - it's FRIDAY!!
