How to Make Bean Stew With Tequila Salsa

  1. Drain and rinse 1 (15-ounce) can of pinto beans.
  2. Mash 1/4 of the drained beans with a fork.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the mashed and whole beans with 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook over medium-low heat.
  4. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the mixture has slightly thickened.
  5. While the stew simmers, prepare the salsa: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 jalapeño pepper, finely minced (remove seeds for less heat), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon tequila, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  6. Serve the warm bean stew topped generously with the tequila salsa. Enjoy with crusty bread for the ultimate dipping experience!
