Dried pinto beans: soak then simmer
A cup of dried pinto beans weighs about 195 g and expands a lot once cooked — roughly 3 cups, or about the same as two 15 oz cans of beans. Soak them overnight (or use a 1-hour quick soak), then simmer 1 to 1½ hours until creamy.
Hold off on salt and acidic ingredients until the beans are nearly tender, since adding them early can keep the skins tough.
