Wondering how to cook black beans in the Instant Pot? This easy no soak method will save you time and money. An easy Mexican Black Beans Instant Pot Recipe that's super flavorful and made in the pressure cooker in just 45 minutes!

The Ultimate Mexican Instant Pot Black Beans

grape seed oil

onion

garlic cloves,

red pepper, diced

dry black beans

ancho chili powder

smoked paprika

water

salsa verde

juice of 1 lime

Add in grape seed oil and onions to the pot. Saute for 2-3 minutes, until onions are translucent.

Next add in garlic. Saute and stir for 30 seconds, until garlic is fragrant.

Immediately add fresh cilantro and red pepper, saute for 2 minutes.

Add in dried black beans, cumin, ancho chili powder, smoked paprika and salt. Saute for 1 minute, stirring the entire time to incorporate all the spices with the other ingredients.

Cancel the Saute mode and set to Pressure Cooker mode.

Cover and cook on HIGH pressure for 40 minutes.

Do a natural release. Add lime juice to the beans and stir. (Add more salt if needed.)

I could dig right into this with that big 'ol wooden spoon! It looks so tasty, and how great that they're so easy to make with the IP!

WOW! This is great for a family dinner at our house.

I just happen to have these ingredients so am going to make it tonight for dinner – – if I can wait that long!

Everything is easier with Instant Pot! Need to make these immediately!

I love this method! Thank you for sharing! Can't wait to give it a try!

Tried this recipe for the TACO party night that I hosted and it was a hit! Everyone loved it and my husband enjoyed it through the left overs. Thank you so much for the easy and quick recipe!

Love the ingredients. Can’t wait to try. Question, instructions at the top say 40 minutes, but the second set at the bottom says 45 minutes. Which is it? Also, how long do I let them do the natural release? Thank you so much!!

No soaking overnight like with other dried beans? No wonder my (lame) attempts in past always looked washed-out, color-wise.

Well this explains a lot! The only time I eat black beans is at Chipotle and couldn’t figure out what was up with the canned variety when I tried to include them in things at home. Looking forward to the rest of the recipes because I gave up trying to make Spanish rice at home a long time ago. If she has a good enchilada sauce up her sleeve, can you please get her to part with that as well?

This was great! 
- I prefer to pre-soak my beans (24 hours in a couple changes of warm water with baking soda added) for improved digestibility, and so my pressure cook time (with natural release) was 10 minutes. 
- I didn't have Smoked Paprika so used plain Paprika but use Applewood Smoked Salt in place of the plain. 
- I also didn't have Ancho Chili Powder so used 3/4 tsp Chili powder and 1/4 tsp Chipotle Chili Powder. 
- I like Bay Leaves in everything so added two
- I also added 1 TBSP of Oregano since I believe Oregano belongs in all things Mexican. 
So while it sounds like a lot of edits, I promise it really wasn't! lol We had this with some brisket for deluxe nachos and breakfast chilaquiles!

(15-ounce 425 grams) cans black beans, undrained*

½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

garlic cloves, (chopped)

jalapeño or serrano pepper, (diced**)

oregano

chipotle chile flakes

kosher salt

black pepper

(454 grams) fresh tomatoes tomatoes

extra virgin olive oil****

lime juice

(16 grams) fresh cilantro leaves and stems, chopped

Don’t drain the beans!

Prep the fresh tomatoes, if using. Wash, and then add to a food processor and pulse until pureed. Or grate the tomatoes using the wide holes of a box grater.

Make the sofrito. Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat with 1 ½ tablespoons of oil. Once hot, add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook until the onion has softened and is golden but not browned, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, jalapeño, cumin, oregano, and chipotle flakes (if using) and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add the diced tomatoes. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a rapid simmer and cook until the tomatoes break down and most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with the kosher salt and several cracks of black pepper.

Pour the black beans with their liquid into the sofrito. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened and saucy.  If it gets too thick, add a splash of vegetable broth if you have it, or water.

Stir in a glug of extra virgin olive oil, a squeeze of lime juice, and cilantro. Taste, and add salt/pepper or more lime juice to taste.

These Mexican Black Beans are perfectly seasoned and go great with so many recipes!

Easy Mexican Black Beans

white onion, diced

black beans, don’t drain the liquid!

paprika

garlic

onion powder

Salt and black pepper,

Heat a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil, diced onion and a pinch of salt.  Cook until onion is soft and beginning to brown.  Add in minced garlic and cook for another minute or so.

Pour the cans of beans plus bean liquid into the pan.  I like to drain off just a tiny bit of liquid from each can but keep most of the liquid in there.  Add in all the spices and stir well.

Let beans cook for 5-10 minutes, just to make sure you get as much flavor as you can from the spices.  This step is optional, but I like to take the back of my wooden spoon, or a potato masher and give the beans a light mash.  You don&#8217;t want to make refried beans but I think it creates a nice sauce if some of them are mashed up.

You can always add extra bean liquid or water if you want the to be soupier.  If you want them to have a thicker consistency, cook them a bit longer and mash them up more.

I liked this recipe. It was easy to follow and delicious.  I did add a can of diced green chilies.  I will definitely make this a GO TO recipe.

First time making these. Omg they are perfect. I thought I lost my ability to cook great food because of an accident I was in. This just proved me wrong. Thank you so much

Loved them. Made them for a taco bar party. Thanks!

We used this Mexican Black Beans recipe as a filling in our vegetarian tamales; as well as a side dish or topping choice on our taco/burrito bar for our Christmas dinner. It was very delicious as all three options! I printed off the recipe and have added it to my personal home recipe book for definite future use. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe with us!

Oooh I love the use of the bay leaf in your seasoning - what a great idea!  This is a staple in our house so we're already ready for tacos!!  Great great recipe we all love!

So quick and loaded with flavor. We used these as part of a veggie grain bowl and they were my favorite part. They paired so well with the other raw veggies and the quinoa. An awesome meatless monday idea.

I always have black beans in the house. This recipe sounds perfect for our Mexican themed dinner nights. What a way to showcase these healthy and nutritious beans. The perfect side dish to take along to a pot luck too.

I love the idea of making these at home!  Going to Chipotle a lot can get pricey.. and homemade tastes so much better too!  I can't wait to put these on my next taco bowl!
