Instructions

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and simmer the pinto beans until they are buttery and tender, about 45 minutes; drain well.

In a small bowl, toss the warm pinto beans with the tomatillo salsa, allowing the acidity to brighten the earthiness of the beans.

Transfer to a small serving glass or bowl.

Top generously with the crumbled queso fresco, which will soften slightly from the residual heat of the beans.

Finish with a handful of fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice if desired. Serve warm with a small spoon for a satisfying, protein-forward snack.
