About Charro beans

Charro Beans, also known as "Frijoles Charros," are a traditional Mexican dish named after the country’s cowboy culture. This flavorful bean stew typically features pinto beans simmered in a savory broth with ingredients like onions, garlic, tomatoes, cilantro, chili peppers, and a variety of meats such as bacon, sausage, or chorizo. Charro Beans are a hearty side or main dish, offering a rich source of protein and fiber from the beans, which support digestion and heart health. They also provide vitamins and minerals like potassium and iron. However, the inclusion of processed meats and added fats may increase sodium and saturated fat content, which should be considered if monitoring heart health. By customizing the recipe—reducing meat portions or using lean alternatives—Charro Beans can be made into a healthier option while preserving the vibrant, robust flavors of this beloved Mexican dish.
