Taken for 117 pictures in 2017, #92, "Full of Beans". Although this has a colloquial meanings, I chose to take this topic literally, and captured a coffee cup full of Anasazi Beans. These are heirloom beans, the ancestor to pinto beans, but have a much better flavor.They have been cultivated in the U.S. southwest for probably thousands of years, and have recently become more widely available. Very healthy, they cook much quicker than pinto beans, and can be used anywhere pintos would be. My favorite use is in charro beans.
