| 1. BEANS: | 2. Sort and rinse the beans thoroughly. Scoop into a 4 quart saucepan. | 3. Add 5 cups water; remove any beans that float. | 4. Add the cubed pork (or extra chopped bacon) and bring to a boil. | 5. Reduce heat and gently simmer, partially covered, until tender, about 2 hours. | 6. Stir gently occasionally, and keep water level a good 1/2 inch above the level of the beans. | 7. FLAVORINGS: | 8. In a medium skillet, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove the bacon but leave behind the drippings. | 9. Pour off all the drippings except 2 Tablespoons. | 10. Return pan to medium heat. | 11. Add the onions and chiles and fry until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. | 12. Scrape the onion mixture into the beans; taste and season with salt. | 13. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes to blend the flavors. | 14. If the beans seem soupy, boil over medium heat until they are the consistency of a nice brothy bean soup. | 15. You can also take 1/4 of the beans and run them through the blender with a bit of broth, then return to pan. | 16. Just before serving, stir in the tequila and cilantro. | 17. Serve in warm bowls topped with the crumbled bacon. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
