Easy Frijoles de la Olla (The Best Beans Ever)

I share 50 old-fashioned Mexican recipes and the practical kitchen cues recipes often leave out: https://steveharlan.gumroad.com/l/mexican-way-cookbook Nobody warned me that beans could carry memory—but when I cook frijoles de la olla the right way, a simple pot of beans becomes something much bigger than dinner. In this video, I make my sister Bertha’s version with pinto beans and show why mastering this humble recipe opens the door to so much of Mexican cooking. I’ll also explain why the beans are flexible—pinto, black, bayo, or whatever I have in the pantry—while the method matters. This is the kind of recipe I return to for comfort, tradition, and a pot full of flavor. #FrijolesDeLaOlla #mexicancooking #MexicanRecipes #beans
