Instructions:

Preparation:

Cooking:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Simmering:
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
- Add the pinto beans to the skillet, stirring gently to incorporate them into the sauce.
- Allow the skillet to simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps the flavors meld together and allows the sauce to thicken slightly.

- After 10 minutes, place the pineapple slices on top of the skillet mixture.
- Allow the dish to heat through for another couple of minutes.
