Steps:
- Stovetop Method: Place the dried beans in a large bowl and fill with water, covering the top of the beans by 2 inches. Let the beans soak overnight.
- When ready to cook, place the beans in a large 6-8 quart pot with a heavy lid. Add the onion wedges, garlic, and hambone if using.
- Pour in enough water to cover the beans by 3-4 inches. Set the heat on medium.
- Cover and bring to a simmer. Then reduce the heat and simmer on medium-low to low for 2-4 hours, until the beans are very soft. *Even after soaking overnight, beans take a varied amount of time, base on how old they are. "New" dried beans will cook faster than beans that have been sitting in the pantry for months/years.
- Once the beans are soft, remove the onion, garlic, and hambone. Stir in the pico de gallo. Taste, then salt as needed.
- Instant Pot Method: When using an electric pressure cooker, you do not have to soak the beans overnight.
- Place the beans in a 6+ quart Instant Pot. Add the onion wedges, garlic, and hambone if using.
- Add 5 cups of water. Lock the lid into place and set on Pressure Cook High for 35 minutes.
- Perform a natural release. Once the steam button drops, it is safe to open the lid. If the beans are still firm, you can Pressure Cook again for 5-10 minutes. Then perform a Quick Release.
- Once the beans are soft, remove the onion, garlic, and hambone. Stir in the pico de gallo. Taste, then salt as needed.
- Crock Pot Method: Place the dried beans in a large 6-8 quart slow cooker. Add the onion wedges, garlic, and hambone if using. Pour in 8 cups water. (You do not have to soak the beans for this method.)
- Set the crock pot on HIGH for 8-10 hours or on LOW for 15-17 hours. Once the beans are soft, remove the onion, garlic, and hambone. Stir in the pico de gallo. Taste, then salt as needed.

PINTO BEANS WITH MEXICAN-STYLE SEASONINGS
Pinto beans are simmered with onion, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and garlic. I love making these beans just because they make the whole house smell so good, and the longer they simmer the better they taste. You could add 1/2 can of beer to make 'borracho' beans. I personally taste-test throughout the entire cooking process and add extra seasoning as I feel it needs it. These beans could simmer all day long; just make sure they have plenty of water to keep the beans covered.

ARIZONA CACTUS AND BEANS
Being surrounded by land filled with wild prickly pear cactus in Arizona, I was inspired to find different ways to enjoy this local plant. This is a simple but tasty recipe that is best if served with warm cornbread.
