Stovetop Cajun Pinto Beans
I LOVE SPICE!!! Let's just get that out of the way. These stovetop Cajun Pinto Beans is an easy and delicious weeknight meal and packed with so much spice and flavor.
I love a dish that’s one pot!
Bean dishes are so versatile you can serve them as a main or side dish. Over rice or with tacos. You really can have fun with beans and the things that you pair them up with.
Back to me loving spice. Sometimes a little too much LOL. But, these beans had the perfect balance of kick and earthiness. If that little FYI didn't convince you, omit the jalapeño and ground red pepper.
P.S. Look I didn’t measure my seasonings. You all know that you should season to taste or until your ancestors send you a sign of approval. So there ya go!!
