Ingredients
- 1 pound dried pinto beans
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 4.24-ounce can chopped green chiles
- 1 fresh jalapeño pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable bouillon
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Toppings
- 2 medium tomatoes seeded and chopped
- ¼ medium red onion chopped
- 2 scallions chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 6 ounces queso Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese crumbled or cut into ¼-inch cubes
- 1 avocado sliced
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Press the sauté button on an electric pressure cooker. When hot, add the oil and chopped onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cilantro and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl.
- In the pressure cooker, combine the beans, chipotle peppers, green chiles, jalapeño, bouillon, bay leaves, and 6 cups water. Seal and cook on high pressure for 50 minutes, until the beans are tender. Natural release, then open when the pressure subsides. Discard the bay leaves and jalapeño.
- Press the sauté button on the pressure cooker. Stir in the reserved sautéed onion mixture and the salt. Cook the beans, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for the toppings: In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, scallions, and cilantro.
- Ladle the beans into serving bowls and top with the tomato mixture, cheese (let the cheese get uber melty), and avocado. Serve with lime wedges and tortillas, if desired.
Notes
- Eat some fresh and then freeze some for later. A general rule of thumb is one pound of dried beans is approximately 4 cans once cooked. This will save you tons of money and also give you lots of flavor.
