Method
Preparation
Rinse the Beans
Place the pinto beans in a colander and rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Soak the Beans
Transfer the rinsed beans to a large bowl, cover with water, and let them soak overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
Cooking
Drain and Rinse
After soaking, drain the beans and rinse them again under cold water.
Cook the Beans
In a large pot, combine the soaked pinto beans and 6 cups of fresh water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the beans simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed to keep the beans submerged.

Serve
Serve the pinto beans hot as a side dish or as a main dish with rice, tortillas, or your favorite toppings.
