Place olive oil in the basin of the instant pot and place on the sauté function.

Once fully soaked, drain and rinse before cooking. This helps soften the beans for a more enjoyable texture.

Place dried black beans in a large bowl, cover with water and set aside for at least 24 hours.

But if you’re not interested in that, I hope you enjoy the beans instead! Anywho, I must be going because I have a past life to hopefully relive. Oh lord, I’m also going to a past life exploration reading today. I even just got some crystals that are next to my bed. I mean…this is also coming from a person who has become quite woowoo over the past year. Not that you can’t have that in your life without paying attention to the moon, but it’s just a little reminder that you’re not totally insane and this connection we have to the moon is real. I never used to pay attention to the moon, but now that I do, it’s almost a confirmation of why I’m feeling the way I am.

On a completely unrelated note…has anyone felt like this full moon is trying to kick them in the face? Last weeks blood supermoon and lunar eclipse has me not sleeping, crying constantly, and worrying about every tiny thing in my life AND everyone else’s life.

Nobody wants floppy bell pepper skin floating around in their beans. It’s a slight extra step, but it’s definitely worth it. So instead, I cook the veggies first then add then add them back in later for extra texture and flavor. I have cooked the beans with the veggies and without, but I much prefer without because I find that the veggies get way too soft and almost flavorless when they are in the pressure cooker for that long. Since beans are oh so cheap to make, I’ve made this recipe a few times to get it just right. So here we are! Today we are going to make some Cuban black beans, save some money, and keep our liver functioning properly. Canned black beans, Fillo’s Cuban Black Beans, A Dozen Cousins Black Beans…but making the beans for yourself is SO.MUCH.CHEAPER and wayyyyy less sodium. And black beans seem to work the best for me and my own gut stuff, so I buy A LOT of black bean products.

Shredded cheese, such as Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack.If you are new here, HI! My name is Juli and I just started eating beans a year ago after not eating them for 10 years while following the paleo diet.

So plan on about 30 minutes from start to finish. The pot takes several minutes to reach pressure. This recipe requires only 10 minutes under pressure. Once you’ve scraped the bottom of the pot, go ahead and add the remaining ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, scrape the bottom of the pot to remove any cooked-on bits of meat or onions. To avoid getting a “burn” notice, add about 1/4 cup of chicken broth to the pot after you cook the onions. This step removes the sharpness from the onions and garlic. Cook the onions and garlic for about two minutes.

(Using grease strainer is the easiest way to do this.) Use the saute setting to brown the meat right in your pressure cooker. If you follow a corn-free diet, skip the corn. Dried black beans would take too long to cook and the rice and meat would be overcooked by the time the beans were done.įrozen corn adds a nice flavor and texture to these bowls. Some folks wonder why I use canned beans in a pressure cooker recipe. You’ll notice the recipe calls for canned black beans. Just note, however, that if the salsa you use is thin, it can make the rice mushy. It’s a simple salsa that adds lots of flavor. If you want to add a spicy kick to the recipe, add a little chipotle powder or, for a really spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.įor this recipe, I use the same Chi-Chi’s salsa as I did in my chicken burrito bowls. It’s loaded with flavor but not a lot of heat. They contain both salt and a thickener which adds an odd consistency to this recipe. And if you make homemade chicken stock, you can use it in this recipe! Simply replace the broth with your stock.Ĭhili powder brings a lot of flavor without bringing a lot of heat to this recipe.

You get to control how much salt you add instead of leaving that up to the broth manufacturer. Some folks ask why I suggest a low sodium broth when I call for adding salt to the recipe. Use low sodium or no-sodium chicken broth. Don’t replace it with either instant rice (you’ll get mushy rice) or brown rice (the brown rice won’t cook in five minutes). Like my original burrito bowls, this recipe calls for long-grain white rice. (Want a chicken-based bowl? Use this recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls!) Don’t want to use ground beef? No problem! Use ground turkey instead. Inspired by classic ground beef tacos, this recipe calls for lean ground beef. They’re loaded with flavor and only take 10 minutes to cook in the Instant Pot. Inspired by classic beef tacos, these tasty bowls are made with ground beef, black beans, rice, and salsa.
