Ingredients
    1 lb. pinto beans
    6 c. water
    1 lb. bacon
    1 large onion, chopped
    1 bell pepper, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 1/2 tsp. salt
    1 tomato, chopped
    1 Tbsp. cilantro, chopped
    1 (12 oz.) can beer (warm)
    1/4 c. ketchup
    1/4 to 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
    12 anaheim or poblano chillies
    1 lb. Cheddar or Jack cheese
    1 c. (4 oz.) plain (all-purpose) flour
    6 eggs

Preparation
    Roast and skin the chillies, slitting open the side of the chilli; remove the seeds and veins, but be careful not to break the flesh.
    Into each chilli, insert a piece of cheese stuffing; taper the end of cheese slightly.
    If necessary, roll the peeled, deseeded, stuffed chillies in flour.
    Beat the egg yolks and whites separately; the whites should be beaten to the stiff peak stage.
    Re-combine the eggs; beat together quickly.
    Dip the chillies in the egg batter; be sure to cover the whole surface evenly; fry in fat or oil that is more than 1-inch deep.
    Keep them warm in the oven until they are ready to serve.
    Serve with refried beans and rice.
