For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a jalapeño pepper (minced) along with the onion. Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preferred level of spiciness. For 'borracho' beans, add 1/2 can of your favorite Mexican beer (like a dark lager or amber ale) along with the tomatoes. The beer will add a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor. These beans are even better the next day! The flavors meld together beautifully as they sit. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Taste and adjust seasonings throughout the cooking process. Don't be afraid to add more chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, or salt to achieve your desired flavor profile.
