Sort through the beans, looking for small rocks and debris. Place in large bowl and rinse several times. Remove beans by hand into a clean bowl of water.

Lower the heat to simmer, cover pan and cook about 2 hours, or until beans are tender. When the beans are light brown and soft, add the cumin, Mexican oregano and jalapeno peppers.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, fry bacon pieces and onions until bacon is crisp. Add to beans.

Last, but not least, add the cilantro and fresh roma romatoes. Simmer for another hour.
