I'm not much into crunchy beans. Sorta jarring when you encounter one.
Which is why I generally sort/pick over my beans so as to not try and
cook pebbles to softness.  Bv)=

      Title: Dave's Chilli Beans
 Categories: Beans, Chilies
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      2 c  Dried pinto beans
      1 ts Oil or bacon dripping
      1 md Onion; chopped
      3 cl Garlic; mashed
      8 oz Can tomato puree or paste
      2 ts Ground cumin
      1 tb Chilli spice *
           Salt & pepper

  * Mexene, Baron's, Ray's, etc.
  
  Soak beans overnight, if desired. Then drain and add
  fresh water. Boil the beans hard for 10 to 15 minutes
  to kick start the conversion of the starches. Reduce
  the heat to a nice four bubble simmer and cover the
  pot. Cook until tender but not mushy.
  
  Saute onion and garlic in oil. Add tomato, chilli
  spice, salt & pepper, parsley and ground red pepper
  with a little water.
  
  Boil for 10-15 minutes. Add to beans and add the cumin
  at this time, cook for 25 minutes or longer.
