Ingredients
dry pinto beans 1lb/454g
One large red onion, chopped ~11oz/312g
Coursely chopped fresh garlic 3oz/80g
Chopped green chiles 1oz/30g
Diced Roma tomatoes ~14oz/390g (4 medium sized)
Skinless/boneless chicken breast cubed or in cut into small strips 1.25lb/567g (about 2 breasts)
Salt and Spices (optional)

Cook pinto beans on low heat for about 12 hours or until tender. For seasoning I usually add a variable amount of one or more of salt, ground pepper, chipotle, habanero or anything else that looks appetizing. You'll have to experiment to see what you like. Add all ingredients and stir thoroughly. Cook for another 3-6 hours keeping on low heat.

I split it into ~12 8oz bags without much liquid and freeze them flat for easy microwave warm-up.

*You can substitute chicken with pork or beef steak or ground beef or whatever suits your tastes.
