Product Description
Santa Fe Borracho Beans are a spicy blend of diced vegetables and spices including Jalapeno, Onion, Garlic, and Tomato, blended together with pre-cooked dehydrated whole pinto beans. Borracho means drunk in Spanish, and Borracho Beans are typically prepared by including a bottle of your favorite beer in the recipe. The cooking directions call for one bottle of beer (12-ounces) along with 3.5 cups of water. You could also substitute 12 ounces of your favorite wine. Or, Borracho Beans are just as delicious prepared straight up with 5 cups of H2O (water). Please be forewarned. Some people believe Santa Fe Borracho Beans to be hot, as in spicy hot. If you have never tried mexican food, this may not be where you want to start. On the other hand, if you think you're tough enough to handle the heat, you probably are. Makes about 29 ounces net weight drained, about 8 servings per container.

Customer Reviews
I prepared these for the first time today. I was surprised to see that the instructions say to put 3 ½ cups water and 1 ½ cups beer (equals one can or bottle) in a 3 quart sauce pan, bring to a boil, then add the beans. You let them simmer on reduced heat, covered, for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Alternate suggestions are provided on the package if you don't want to use beer, including wine, other non-alcoholic brew, or just additional water. I recommend the beer.The only remaining thing to do is to add salt to taste, although not much is needed. I added none to the pot, but sprinkled some on my serving bowl.It was excellent. Nothing else, spice wise (as mentioned in other reviews) is necessary. Unlike some of the other packs which contain only the dehydrated beans and salt, the ingredients here are: Dehydrated Pinto Beans, Tomato, Jalapeno, Onion and Garlic, Spice, and Salt. Each package serves 8.One package of these Borracho Beans is included in the sample pack. I'm back today on Amazon to order the 8-pack of these. Yes, they're that good.Update 10/03/2012: I have started a new way to prepare these. I've browned about 2 lbs of ground beef (with some chopped onions and dusted liberally with chili powder), drained, then put it into a lock 'n lock container in the freezer. When I start a batch of Borracho Beans, I'll microwave the browned ground beef for no more than a minute -- to loosen it a bit -- and put about a quarter to a third in with the beans, beer, and water. Much faster than making chili, and very good! Freeze leftovers in single-serve containers, and I'm good to go.Serve with saltines and a cold beer - it doesn't get much better. (Did I mention I'm a bachelor?) ;-)Update 02/13/2013: I gave a bag to three different couples, and they all reported that, in their opinion, the dish was too hot (spice-wise). Those little Jalapeno bits were too much. Me? I like it hot, but if you aren't really into that, you might want to pass on these.
