Ingredients
- 1/2 pound bacon, chopped

- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (12-ounce) Mexican beer (I used Negra Modelo

Equipment Used
Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until crispy, stirring occasionally. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and transfer to a separate plate. Set aside.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the saute pan and add the onion and poblano. Saute for 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic, and saute for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add the beer, beans, oregano, chili powder, salt and cumin, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the beans reach a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, and continue simmering uncovered for about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the bacon and lime juice.
- Serve the beans topped with cooked bacon, chopped cilantro and queso fresco cheese.
