Ingredients

6 ounces chicos
2 cups dried pinto beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion peeled and coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic chopped
1/2 New Mexico chile, seeded and chopped
1/2 lb lean pork cubed into 1/4 pieces
Salt to taste

Instructions

Soak the chicos and beans together in ample water overnight.

Put the oil in a medium-hot frying pan and saute the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes until the onion is transparent. Remove from the pan and place in a 2-quart covered saucepan. Saute the pork in the same frying pan
just until the meat begins to brown. Drain the chicos and beans and all of the ingredients to the saucepan and then add enough water to just barely cover. Add salt to taste and simmer, covered, until the beans and chicos
are tender, about l hour.

Serve as a side dish or as a main course. Add a vegetable dish and you have a complete meal.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
