Mexican Charro Beans

2 large cans pinto beans plus 1 small can
4-6 cups water
6 oz ham or bacon
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
1 cup chopped onion
2 jalapeno peppers or 4 fresh serranos or to taste
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped cilantro

In a dutch oven saute onion, pepper, and ham until soft(using 1-2 tbsp. oil). (If using bacon, saute bacon first, set aside and saute onion and pepper in the bacon grease)
Add all other ingredients except cilantro to pot. Simmer 2-3 hours occasionally adding water to keep bean mixture soupy. Add cilantro 5-10 minutes prior to serving.
