1 teaspoon coarsely ground cumin seeds
1 (16-ounce) can red beans, drained

2. Preheat oven to 350F.
3. Add bay leaves and rosemary to beef. Add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Skim surface. Cover and bake 2 hours or until tender. Remove beef, draining broth and saving for another use. Remove and discard bay leaves and rosemary. Cover beef and set aside until cool enough to handle. Using forks or your hands, pull beef apart until shredded.

onion, garlic and cumin; cook and stir several minutes. Add beans; reduce heat
and simmer several minutes more until chiles soften. Stir in shredded beef. Add salt to taste. Cook until thoroughly heated and serve with hot flour or corn tortillas.
