Growing up, my Mexican grandmother always had a pot of beans cooking on the stove. I often cook these "drunken" beans (my updated version) for my family, and the aroma keeps her close to my soul, even years after she has passed. I hope your family enjoys them as much as mine does.

Ingredients

1 pound dried pinto beans, washed
2 quarts chicken stock
1 tablespoon salt, or to taste
½ tablespoon ground black pepper, or to taste
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chopped stewed tomatoes
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle dark beer
1 white onion, diced
1 ½ cups chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup pickled jalapeno peppers
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 ½ tablespoons dried oregano
3 bay leaves

Directions

Soak beans in a large pot of water, 8 hours to overnight.
Drain beans, and refill the pot with chicken stock and enough water to cover beans with 2 inches of liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Stir beans occasionally throughout the entire cooking process to make sure they do not burn or stick to the bottom of the pot.
Stir tomatoes, beer, onion, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, garlic, oregano, and bay leaves into the beans. Continue to cook uncovered for 1 hour, or until beans are tender.
With a potato masher, crush the beans slightly to thicken the bean liquid. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper to taste.
