Small Reds keep their shape when cooked for a long time, which makes them ideal for soups and congees, as cooked-and-chilled additions to salads, and when served mixed with rice in spicy Caribbean dishes. They’re also known as “Mexican red beans,” “Honduran red beans,” “Salvadorean red beans” or “Central American red beans,” and they make a great substitute for pintos or red kidneys in chili, with rice dishes, or mashed and refried in baleadas, a popular Honduran street food.
