Next, add your pinto beans, chilies with sauce,seasonings, and bay leaves to the pot. Give everything a good stir with a wooden spoon until well combined. Once it's boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and let it continue to cook for about 10-12 minutes. This will ensure that everything is heated through and the flavors meld together beautifully.
