    • Classic recipe

    Frijoles Charros (Cowboy Beans)

    While they may look similar to black-eyed peas, our Eye of the Goat Beans have a pinto-like texture when cooked - meaning they pair well with bold flavors like this spicy batch of frijoles charros. Bacon adds a richness and smokiness, while jalapeño peppers keep things bright and lively.
