Santa Maria-Style Pinquito Beans Recipe #185562
This is a barbecue-style bean recipe that's traditionally served with grilled Recipe #185560, Recipe #185563, and corn tortillas. Pinquito beans (they might also be labeled "pink beans") are more authentic, and better if you can find them, but pinto beans will work, too. Look for pinquitos at a Latino market if you have one close by, or you can order them online.
