BORRACHO BEANS: How to Make Delicious "Drunken" Beans/Frijoles Borrachos with Hatch Green Chile

- If you've never had Borracho Beans before, you've been missing out because they're absolutely delicious. It's amazing how one bottle of beer can enhance the flavors that are packed into these "Drunken" Beans/Frijoles Borrachos. Among those flavors is Hatch green chile! Need I say more?! Read on for the recipe.
Borracho Beans
1 lb. pinto beans (sorted, cleaned, soaked in water overnight & drained)
6 cups of water
4 slices of bacon, cut into half inch pieces
4 roma tomatoes, cubed
5 Hatch green chiles (roasted, peeled & diced)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bottle of Mexican beer
salt to taste
Heat a large pot on the stovetop at medium high heat, then fry the bacon in the pot. Once cooked, remove the bacon and set aside, but leave the bacon grease in the pot. Drop in chopped onions, tomatoes, and chile and let it fry in the bacon grease, while stirring. Once onions are translucent and tomatoes have cooked down, add in minced garlic and cooked bacon. Then add in drained pinto beans, along with 6 cups water and 1 bottle of beer. Stir to combine and let it come to a boil. Once it boils, lower the heat and let beans cook for 2 hours. In the last half hour of cooking time, add in salt to taste.
The alcohol from the beer will cook out, but what the beer does is enhance all the flavors of the other ingredients. You'll be left with creamy, smoky, flavor-packed Borracho Beans.

Great camera work and overall production 😎
Thank you so much, Keith. Appreciate your feedback.
Yesterday was the first time I saw your channel. The first video I watched was refried beans and you mentioned this video. I love, love, love borracho beans but never knew how to make them. Loved this video on how they are made. Thank you.
I did the same thing!
Me too!
Thanks for showing our great 805 area Cerveza 🍺 from Paso Robles, California. #805beer
Great Video. Continued Success
Thanks for the nice comment. I appreciate you watching!
Can’t wait to try these! WhoopWhoop representing the 805🙌
Yes!!! Glad to hear you’ll be trying them. They’re delicious!
My aunts have used those Rada tomato knives for decades. Finally got my own 10 yrs ago. Its definitely my most used, go-to knife!
That's awesome! I'm really loving mine.
Wow, I made this following your instructions and they were so good. Thanks for sharing your talents
Just found your channel and love your cooking and your kind and friendly way😊
I just got back from a month in El Paso. I’m from Missouri. While there I fell in love with hatch peppers. I TH-camd Hatch peppers and found your channel.Love,love your recipes. I’m not much of a bean person but I really like black beans. Have any recipes with them.
Thank you for sharing with this great recipe !
I used steel reserve malt liquor and it adds a fantastic flavor to the beans and it's cheap,less than 3dollars a 43.oz bottle here in Texas!
Made this yesterday!
Best beans EVER!
Thank you!!!!!!
I'm seriously salivating watching the making of the borracho beans! Bet they go well with a side bottle of beer 🍻 too. Yummy. Thank you Marcy and Tony for another wonderful recipe. WTG Marcy Inspired!
Thanks so much, Mike! Your comments are always so encouraging. At some point, we'll eventually get out here for one of our shoots.
I am making these tonight for supper!
Hope you enjoyed them.
This are perfect to take camping or to a BBQ ! I could just taste them!!
Totally. They're SO good.
That looks delicious. One of my sons favorites
Definitely worth making.
Yum😍 these beans look sooo good! I make this as well because my husband's family is from El Paso and he loves these beans. They put chorizo, jalapeno, and chunks of cheese. For some reason I never thought to cook it all together from the start. I cook the beans , cook the chorizo separately, then add that and everything else in to the pot of beans. This recipe just changed my view. Yours look way better! 😄 Thanks Marcy
Oh, you are too kind. I'm sure your way is fantastic. You had me at "chunks of cheese!"
Yummy looking! I can’t wait to make these. Borracho beans are my personal favorite, and I still have frozen hatch chili❤️
Oh, perfect! I'm starting to get low in my freezer. But, I think, if I time it right, I'll run out right in time for the new harvest.
Yummm, looks delicious 😊 definitely will try, saved the recipe and Blessings to you too❤
electic knife way to go
I absolutely love drunken beans! A good friend taught me how to make them and I am glad to see a video on it.
I am definitely trying this recipe. - yum yum lol
I absolutely love your kitchen supervisor and no doubt, highly qualified taste tester.😁
"The Beag" Precious, Beautiful coloring❣
I love beans, I could easily eat these beans as a meal. Thank you.
That looks so delicious that I went to the grocery store and got everything I need to make it, I thought. When I got home I remembered that I forgot to get some pinto beans! LOL So I'll go and get them in the morning. EDIT: I went to the store early and got some beans, soaked them for a few hours and made these Borracho Beans. Some of, if not THE, best beans I've ever cooked! Absolutely delicious! I used Shiner Bock beer and it imparted a pleasant taste!
Me too. Adds a sweetness to your beans. First ate these in San Antonio. Still recall it 😊.
Your recipes make me homesick for NM - thank you for sharing with the rest of us! BTW, were you ever a performer or professional speaker? Your elocution is flawless!
I'm happy I can bring a little taste of New Mexico to wherever you live now. Thanks for the comment. You are too kind. I did work in television news for many years, and have to work at NOT sounding like a news reporter! Lol
I saved receipt. But I noticed your fur baby is always in the kitchen when you start cooking love that part of your video as well. 🐕
Marcy those beans look delicious, i have never made my beans like this but you talked me into it. Thanks for all your inspiration 😊❤
You’re so welcome. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. 😊
WOW,never new the beans are cooked raw with all the ingredients ?where have i been all my life x😍
Marcy i like my beans with cornbread 😊
Me, too…lol I was thinking the same thing…
I'm about to make this recipe tonight
Ha ha more cervasa!!!
And beans of course. Thank you for your service and expertise!
I’m going to make this. Looks yummy.
Love the dog on the floor. I have a similar buddy that likes to watch me cook. Good recipe.
I think I will omit the beer
You can sharpen serrated knives. My Cutco serrated knives are sparpenable. I just have a representative come to my house to sharpen all or even just one.
Great looking recipe. I'll be trying this along with your creamy refried beans. Thanks so much ❤
This recipe is a keeper! Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
I wanted to let you know I made your Borroacho Beans. They are fantastic. My husband said they are a keeper which means: "make them again". I lived in Silver City for 25 years and i am enjoying you sharing your recipes. I also love HATCH CHILI.
That's always nice to hear. Thanks so much for coming back to tell me. Also hope you saw my bonus video in Silver City. If you lived there 25 years, I'm sure it was very familiar to you.
Makes you wanna go cook the beans 🫘 ❤looks yummy
Looks delicious, can't wait to try it.
Thanks! They really are fantastic.
Those look delicious, back in Oklahoma, when I lived there,. There was one restaurant that made them nicely. I have been gone long enough I forgot about them. I will give this a try at camp next week. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. I hope you have ae. blessed week my friend.
Dale
This looks delicious also. I would love to try it one day soon. Thumbs up to your video. Btw, Is the green chili spicey? I have never eaten them.
Recipe looks great, can't wait to try it
Let me know when you do. I think you’ll love it.
I love rada tomato knife
I'm a rather new viewer to your channel. I love eating and cooking Tex-Mex, Mexican and South-American food. Your videos are great. My one problem is you insistence on using Hatch Chiles. I love them as everyone does, but they are seasonal for us and even in season, they are impossible to find. Anaheims from Mexico are easy to get all year. Maybe you could also mention if maybe Anaheim chilies possibly with something else like Serrano to add heat would work. I generally ignore recipes with ingredients I can't source locally but I like your recipes. And I live in a town with a high immigrant population due to high end field work and also many expensive foodie restaurants with lots of foodies. Hatch are just hard to find and sometime those you see aren't Hatch.
We hadn't heard of these, but we'll have to give them a try!
Let me know what you think when you make them. I'm hoping you love them as much as we do.
I love all my Rada knives!
They're fantastic!
I love pinto beans, I have never made this recipe. It's on my to do list...they look delicious.
They're fantastic & definitely worth the little extra effort.
Looks sooooo yummy. I will be trying this recipe asap
Holy frijoles, that looks delicious. Serrated knives can be sharpened, it just takes a little longer to do.
I can’t live without my tomatoe knives, yes, I have four.
Beagles are GOOD eaters! I know mine was....
Nice! Will be doing this recipe this weekend!! Any Mexican Beer recommendations?
That rocks You !!
Thanks! 🤘🏼
This looks so good! I can’t wait to try it. Will be searching your videos on how to buy and roast the hatch green chilies. Wondering if the canned or frozen ones would work, but how much should I use?
Canned or frozen will work. I'm guessing about half a cup of chopped chile is about right.
Hi Marcy…. I really enjoy your recipes!!!
Do you know how to make green chile macaroni sopita??
Hi Marcy I’m going to make the Borracho Beans, I can’t wait to. Question can I use turkey bacon since I don’t consume pork? Shirley from Albuquerque. Thank you for your recipes, I love the way you explain your dishes 😊❤
Yes, absolutely! I hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching!
Will it work with a New Mexican beer? I have a couple of those on hand. Looks so good can't wait to try it.
Well I know what I'm cooking tomorrow LOL.😊
Oh, good! You'll love them!
That looks so good. I'm stranded in South Carolina, is there any substitute for hatch chilies? Thanks.
David
You can use a poblano or jalapeno, whichever you prefer (heat wise)
Looks good
I am going to try these.
I love the serving bowl where can I get them.
I've got a whole set of these in different sizes. They were my mother's. I remember them from when I was a little girl. She never really liked them, but I did. So she gave them to me when I moved out on my own. I know that's not much help for you, but I've never really seen them anywhere else.
You're the Mexican Martha Stewart. 😊
God bless these types of Woman.
I will have to use Hatch (505) green chilies, since I don't have five frozen ones. Would that be a cup?
Thank you!
I think you’d be good with anywhere from half a cup to about 3/4 cup, since the 505 brand already has it cut pretty small. But of course, if you love green chile as much as I do, there’s no such thing as too much. 😜
Where did you buy the small bowl for your beans?
2:48 Would a slotted spoon work better here?
Can u use Jalapeños or Serrano's instead of hatch?
Can you add chicharrones to the beans? If so, when would you add them?
Wow this is different from my recipe. I guess it all depends on where you're from how the barrocho beans are prepared. My recipe has no beer , chile , and we don't render bacon down . We use extra lean thick cut bacon, we cut out the fat and its added after the beans come to a boil. We use jalapeños and cilantro. The flavor is of fresh greens.... and depending upon the bacon is how we add salt. Never heard of beer for this.
Borracho means "drunken" in Spanish, so I've only ever seen them prepared with beer. But I'm sure your version is delicious, too. Thanks so much for watching.
@@marcyinspired1442 thanks for letting me know that . Next time im going to see if we can follow your recipe and see if we like them more. We got this recipe from our next door neighbors around 1980 . Been making them since . We love them the way we learned.
Do you have printable recipes?
Not true, I have been sharpening cerrated knives for a few years and they are as sharp as new!
Do you have a cook book
What size?
We find that soaking pinto beans overnight works best for where we live at 7000 feet in southern New Mexico. 😂
Oh, on knives. I use a 10" chef's knife for almost everything. I do have a boning type knife just to cut up pork butts and chickens. But while I have a beautiful long serrated bread knife, I never use it. I keep my chef's knife sharp by honing it every time I use it. It cuts my homemade bread perfectly without all of the crumbs of a serrated knife and slices tomatoes like butter. My honing takes no more than 30 seconds and keeps my knife perfect. Dull knives are dangerous. Keep your knife sharp and let it do the work.
Please give my compliments to the person who does the audio for your videos. I am hearing impaired. Most of the You Tube cooking videos have such poor sound quality, it is difficult to hear them
You can sharpen serrated blades. People are just too lazy when they can't run them through a machine.
"Bread knives" are unnecessary crutches. Just use any good, *sharp* knife.
I'm sorry, but any recipe that uses only half an onion, and only 2 cloves garlic, doesn't count as a good recipe in my book, but thanks.
So add more onions and garlic until you like it. You'll be glad you did.
Lucky family
😍😛😍
