Pinto beans (canned drained)

Pinto beans are speckled beige and brown legumes that turn a solid pinkish-brown when cooked, with a creamy texture and earthy flavour. They are widely used in Mexican and Southwestern American cooking, particularly for refried beans and chili. Dried beans require soaking and cooking, while canned versions are ready to use after rinsing.

Once drained of its canning liquid, this ingredient weighs less per cup than it does undrained, though usually more than the dried, unsoaked form.
