Enjoy these May flower beans, just like grandma used to make, with a touch of lard and a spicy flavor that will remind you of home. Remember that beans are high in iron, zinc, and folic acid.

Soak the beans in a bowl with water for 24 hours. Drain and set aside. Cook the beans over medium heat with water, onion, garlic, and salt in a clay pot. Cook for 1 hour. In a skillet, heat the lard and fry the chiles for 5 minutes, until they are toasted. Add the hot lard and chiles, and cook for 20 more minutes until they start to thicken slightly. Serve in a deep plate and enjoy with hot tortillas.
