  • The next day, add remaining ingredients, except salsa and salt.
  • Bring to a boil, stir.
  • Decrease heat to medium and cover. Simmer until the beans are slightly firm but tender in
    middle, about 1 1/2 hours. If the liquid evaporates before beans are cooked, add water, 1/4 cup at
    a time.
  • When beans are cooked, add salt.
  • Keep warm until ready to serve, or cool, cover and keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Stir in salsa, if using, right before serving. Great with tacos, in enchiladas, or as a side
    with chips.
