These beans go by many names. An oval-shaped dried bean common in Latin American cooking. Medium in size and ivory-yellow in color, the Mayocoba Bean is similar to a pinto bean in appearance and flavor. Mild flavored with a buttery taste and texture, this bean is used as an ingredient in soups, salads and refried bean dishes. The Mayocoba Bean may also be referred to as mayo coba bean, maicoba bean, azufrado bean, canaria bean, canario bean, Mexican yellow bean, Peruvian bean, or a Peruano bean.

Mayocoba beans, also known as "Peruvian beans," are a meaty white bean that are popular in the state of Jalisco, as well as much of southern Mexico. Mayocoba beans have a meaty interior and a thin skin, which makes them perfect for refried beans. Like other dried beans, mayocoba beans must be soaked before they are cooked to soften them and reduce any unpleasant effects on the digestive system. However, they are worth the effort because these hearty beans have a savory flavor that blends with and soaks up the other flavors in the meal.

I used lots of different ground chili pepper for spices. Use less or more depending on your taste. I also used the Mexican herb Epazote which is often used in beans made in Mexico. It is said to help with digestion.

If you are not familar with Achiote paste give it a try. It is a paste made from Annatto seeds ground to a paste. You can make your own or it is readily available in Latin markets. Annatto has a somewhat sour flavor. It is often used in marinades on the Yucatan coast. It is used as a coloring agent to cheese and makes a great annatto oil when simmered in olive oil and drained. It makes a beautiful bright yellow rice by adding the oil to rice. Many would mistake it for Saffron.

This recipe makes a lot of beans. It will serve 10-12 for sure. I usually make two pounds at a time as they freeze well and make for quick and nutritious week night meal.

Served with a salad and warm whole wheat tortillas it is a hearty meal.

    Bought frijoles Peruanos this am and they're soaking. I was going to create a recipe to prepare them, but will just use yours. Have to go back to the store for epazote. I'm not going to add the turkey, as I'm going to make re-frieds with the recipe. Yum!
