   Organic anasazi beans are still inexpensive in Oklahoma. They are also good in a casserole. Peace out!

   I have always loved Anasazi Beans. I 1st made them as a kid without the spices. Only the pepper, onions and bacon grease. Then made fresh tortillas, on the grill, over an open flame. OMG that was always my family’s favorite in a green chili burrito. These beans used to be very inexpensive now they are almost $5 lb. Try it you may like the beans.

   Anasazi beans contain about 25% less complex sugars than other beans so they are much more forgiving. Just be sure you soak them overnight, changing the water several times. In the final wash, rinse them until the water is clear.

   I’m a bit confused, since using the soak water from beans in a recipe is NOT advised, because of the undigestible sugars that remain behind in the soak water. So I’m surprised to see this recipe calling for using all of the soak water. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks!
