Ingredients
6 servings
- •6 ounces bacon, roughly chopped
- •1 yellow onion, chopped
- •1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- •2 cups chicken stock
- •1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
- •1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- •1 cup water
- •1 green onion, chopped
- •2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste
- •½ teaspoon salt
- •½ teaspoon garlic powder
- •¼ teaspoon ground dried chipotle pepper
Instructions
- Place bacon in a 2-quart pot. Cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove some bacon grease, as needed, to keep from boiling the bacon. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
- Add onion to the pot; saute in the remaining bacon grease until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chopped jalapeno; saute until starting to soften, about 2 minutes.
- Add the bacon, pinto beans, tomatoes, water, green onion, cilantro, salt, garlic powder, and chipotle to the onion mixture. Bring to a slow boil; reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and flavors meld, about 15 minutes.
