Instant Pot Black Beans

homemade black beans in a bowl topped with cilantro with a spoon, next to bowl of lime wedges and taco seasoning
  • Serves:  8
  • Prep Time:  5 min
  • Cook Time:  45 min

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 Small onion, chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 1/2 cups Dried black beans, rinsed (about 1lb)
  • 4 cups Chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Taco seasoning
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sea salt

Method

  1. With your instant pot on sauté mode, heat the oil until glistening. Add in the onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes.

  2. Add in the remaining ingredients, stir to combine and tightly secure the lid in place. Turn the Instant Pot to MANUAL mode with high pressure selected for 25 minutes.

  3. When the timer is done, allow the pressure to release naturally, about 20 minutes. If there is any pressure still in the pot, you can manually release it at this time.

  4. Open the Instant Pot, stir and allow the beans to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Cooked beans will keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
