About Charros
Charros, often referred to as "charro beans" or "frijoles charros," are a savory Mexican dish originating from traditional cowboy cuisine. This hearty recipe features pinto beans simmered in a flavorful broth with ingredients like onions, tomatoes, garlic, and cilantro, along with smoked sausage, bacon, or chorizo for a rich, meaty taste. Some variations may include jalapeños or chili peppers for added heat. While charros are packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins from the beans and vegetables, they can also be calorie-dense due to the presence of processed meats and added fats. Choosing leaner meat options or omitting them altogether can make the dish healthier. Commonly enjoyed as a side or main dish, charro beans offer a delicious glimpse into authentic Mexican comfort food while highlighting the balance between indulgence and wholesome nutrition.
