How To Make a Mexican Bean Salad
This Mexican bean salad is a riff off the standard.
All items that we happened to have in our pantry or fridge this week.

Fill a medium sized pot halfway with well salted water.
Bring to a boil.
Green beans can be highly variable in how long it takes to cook them to tenderness.
More mature beans can take longer, up to 20 minutes.
Drain the green beans and put in the bowl with the pinto and black beans.
Drizzle the olive oil over everything and toss to combine.
Mix in the green onions, jalapeno, garlic, and Cotija cheese.
Coat the beans well and let marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably several hours.
Add cilantro right before you serve and add more salt to taste if needed.
