Directions Bring water to rolling boil. Add pinto beans and seasonings. Stir continuously until beans come to a boil. Turn off heat and continue to stir until beans are no longer bubbling.

Beans may be used as soon as they’re the desired texture. If eating as a dip, also ensure the temperature is safe. Best used thinner for sauces and thicker for dips.
