Instructions
- 1 Place mayocoba beans in a large bowl with enough cool water to cover by several inches; soak 8 hours to overnight.
- 2 Drain beans; rinse thoroughly. Transfer beans to a large stockpot; add enough water to cover beans by several inches. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until beans are soft in centers, about 90 minutes.
- 3 Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and serrano; simmer until tomatoes slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; continue cooking until liquid begins to thicken, about 10 minutes more. Remove from heat; set aside.
- 4 Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until very crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain using a slotted spoon, leaving drippings in skillet.
- 5 Add ham to the same skillet; cook in drippings until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer to the plate with bacon to drain using a slotted spoon.
- 6 Stir tomato mixture, bacon, ham, beer, jalapeños, cilantro, and bouillon granules into cooked beans; season with sea salt. Bring mixture to a simmer; cook until beans are completely softened, about 30 minutes.
