Disappointing as any kind of beans and tritip (and barely a recipe. I have done it while camping, but even then, made many changes/additions to this - and would never call it Santa Maria Style. Name needs to change.

Bobby bobby, bobby, what were u thinking? Canned beans? I get the idea of jalapenos to add heat/spice, but vary it with the spices. Don't change a traditional unique dish. And only the local grown Santa Maria pinquito should be used, although if you can't order or find,.. pinto beans can substitute. use tapatio, pico/pico de gallo to add heat/flavor. U need to do a throwdown here and redeem this really bad try at a unique local dish.

I am from Santa Maria and these are not Santa Maria style beans. We use pinquito beans, NOT ranch beans from a can. No tri tip in the beans. Maybe some ground beef, garlic, onion, chili powder and other things but definitely NO jalapenos. Come on people, please stop tarnishing the Santa Maria style BBQ name with all your wanna be tri tip and bean recipes. Leave the Santa Maria BBQ'ing to us, the people born and raised there. We know what we are doing.
