This recipe is popular on both sides of the border. It came from a friend in Alaska, then traveled with me to old Mexico, where I lived for 5 years, and is now a potluck favorite in my Arkansas community. It's easy to keep the beans warm and serve from a slow cooker. -Barbara Short, Mena, Arkansas

Cumin, cilantro and red pepper flakes lend a Southwestern flair to tender pinto beans in this recipe from Mrs. L.R. Larson of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 'This dish was inspired by one served at a Dallas, Texas restaurant. The chef added chunks of ham, but my version is meatless,' she writes. 'It makes a great Tex-Mex side or a filling lunch when served with corn bread.'
