Frijoles

2 lb pinto beans, uncooked
1 gallon cold water for soaking beans
3/4 lb bacon slices chopped in 1" squares
1/2 cup finely-chopped fresh garlic, plus 1 tbsp
4 tbsp finely-chopped cilantro, plus 1 tbsp
1 large onion, chopped
1 tbsp cumin
1-2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 gallon cold water for cooking beans
1 1/2 tbsp salt
2 cup chopped Roma tomatoes

Soak beans in 1 gallon cold water for 8 hours or overnight. Drain when
ready to cook.

In a 2-gallon heavy pot, cook the bacon pieces until well done. Do not
under cook the bacon. Add 1/2 cup chopped garlic, 3 tablespoon
cilantro, and chopped onions to hot bacon. Cook until onions are
transparent.

When onions are ready, add beans, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and add
1/2 gallon cold water. Turn heat to medium-low. Add salt and stir. Cook
beans slowly until fork tender (approximately 1 hour). Stir occasionally
to avoid burning.

Add tomatoes, remaining garlic and cilantro, then serve.
