Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Soak the beans overnight in a pot of water. Then drain the water.
  2. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, and cumin and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Add the oregano and beans, then add enough water to cover the beans (about 9 cups).

    Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, partially cover the pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, about 3 hours.

  3. Add 2 teaspoons of salt and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 45 minutes. Season with salt to taste. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving; garnish with queso fresco and cilantro, if desired.
