To a medium bowl or saucepan, add beans and enough water to cover by 1 inch. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator overnight. Drain beans, transfer to a medium saucepan and add white onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, partially cover and cook until beans are tender, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, make pico de gallo: In a small bowl, combine tomato, red onion and bell pepper. Set aside. Use a slotted spoon to transfer beans to serving plates. Top with queso fresco and pico de gallo, dividing evenly. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
