FRIJOLES MEXICANO Best for lovers heading to Mexico to be married. 1 ¼ cups pinto beans ½ tsp soda 2 small cloves garlic ½ cup diced salt pork 1 tsp vinegar Salt 1 small onion, sliced 3 tbsp bacon drippings Grated cheese Pick over the beans and wash them thoroughly. Cover them with cold water, add the soda, and soak them overnight. In the morning, add the garlic and salt pork, cover and cook them slowly in the same water in which they were soaked, adding more hot water from time to time to keep the beans well covered. They should be tender in about four hours, and when done there should be approximately 2 cups of liquid. Add the vinegar, and partly mash the beans with a potato masher. Add salt if desired, together with the sliced onions. Heat the bacon dripping in a heavy pan, pour the beans in slowly, and stir them until they bubble. Cook about 10 minutes; the turn them into a greased baking dish, sprinkle them generously with grated cheese, and bake them in a hot oven (400°) for about fifteen minutes or until the cheese is melted.
