¡Hola!

Me gustaría saber cuál es la palabra más usada para "pinto beans" en español de Estados Unidos. Sé que la traducción es "alubias pintas" en España, pero no sé si en Estados Unidos emplean la misma palabra o utilizan "frijoles pintos", por ejemplo. Esto es para los subtítulos de un vídeo con instrucciones para los trabajadores de un restaurante mexicano (pero creado por estadounidenses) para explicarles cómo cocinar ciertos ingredientes.

I know what you’re thinking. You want to know exactly how to go about making something as super delicious as our classic *pinto beans*. You’ll be surprised how easy it is!

Muchas gracias de antemano.
