Frijoles Charros, or Charro beans, are a highly appreciated dish in México with a similar consistency of a soup😋, although there is a great variety in their way of preparation or ingredients.
This is my version of vegan charro beans, which although they are quite substantial to be enjoyed as main dishes, they are usually used more as a garnish.☝️
Easy, fast and delicious!👌
