Description

An easy way to make black beans with a spicy flair for a side dish or tostadas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb dried black beans
  • 3 + cups water
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed and minced
  • 46 dried Chiles de Arbol crushed
  • 1 Tbs cumin
  • 1 Tbs paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup oil
  • additional water
  • *optional 1 Tbs minced chipotle pepper in adobo sauce

Instructions

  1. Place dried black beans in a bowl and fill with water until the beans are covered and soak for at least 2 hours.
  2. Place the beans and the water in a pressure cooker with garlic, chiles, cumin, paprika and salt and cook on high for 8 minutes.
  3. Quick release the pressure on the Instant Pot, remove the lid and change the setting to “saute”. Add in the oil and (and chipotles if you’re adding them) mash some of the beans with the back of a spatula or spoon to make a creamy consistency, while still keeping a lot of the beans whole. Simmer uncovered until the beans thicken, then serve.
