Frijoles Borrachos, or Drunken Beans, fall in that multitudinous category of Mexican bean soups and stews made with the humble but very satisfying pinto bean. They are similar to Frijoles Charros or Cowboy Beans but some of the cooking liquid is replaced with beer, giving them a almost sweet, yeasty flavor. Drunken Black Beans are cooked in beer and flavored with onion, garlic, and cilantro stems. I came up with cooking beans this way when I had an entire bunch of cilantro stems sitting on the counter - the leaves used in a relish - and figured I'd throw them in the pot. Add drained tomatoes, beans and beer; stir until combined.
