INGREDIENTS
    • Pinto beans
    • Salt
    • Fresh tomatoes, diced
    • Bell pepper, diced
    • Garlic, minced
    • Fresh or frozen corn
    • 1-2 limes, juiced
    • Red and/or black pepper
    • Fresh cilantro

METHOD
Cook pinto beans from dried beans (this is important, beacuse the beans provide the thickening) and add salt to taste.

When the beans are starting to get soft add fresh diced tomatoes, bell pepper, and a few minced cloves of garlic.

When the peppers just start to get soft (5-10 mins?) add some fresh or frozen corn, the juice of one or two limes, red and/or black pepper.

Cook a few minutes longer and then serve with fresh diced cilantro.


NOTES
You really can't go wrong with soup. You could add diced olives towards the end, or onions along with the garlic. Mexican oregeno, or cummin might also add to the soup, but it is nice to keep it simple with a good fresh limey taste.
