dalidali Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 One of all time favorite meals is a big bowl of chili and beans, especially on rainy days, and I am really missing that here. I can't seem to find PINTO beans, or frijoles, here in the Cebu area.....especially the Lapu_x2 area. Garlic....check Onions...check Tomatoes....check Chilies.....check beef or pork.....check salt....check tabasco....check NO pintos....just huge white beans or little bitty purple-ish ones. Anyone come across any pintos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeB Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Haven't seen pintos but you can find red kidney beans at Metro Supermarkets in Cebu City. Bought them at Ayala and Pacific Malls. Probably Rustans also since Shopwise had them. They work great in chili. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tukaram (Tim) Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) I used to cook for Chili's. We used red kidney beans for chili. And you can find them in most larger grocery stores. I just found a nice quality bell pepper and was planning a pot of chili... sure wish I had some chili powder... at least I have paprika. ~edit~ anyone know a good masa harina substitute?
