Frijoles negros, or black beans, are a staple of Mexican cuisine. You’re going to love my easy Mexican frijoles negros recipe! These beans are hearty, delicious, incredibly versatile and packed with plant-based protein — making them perfect for vegans and vegetarians alike.
Pick through the dry beans and remove any dirt, debris, damaged beans or little stones.
Rinse the beans under cold running water for a few minutes.
Place beans inside the pressure cooker. Add the onion, garlic, epazote, salt into the pot. Pour in the water. Make sure it’s enough water to cover the beans by a few inches.
Place the pressure cooker lid on the pot, set valve to Sealing. Select High Pressure and set time to 35 minutes.
Allow to naturally release pressure once finished cooking. Carefully open the pot away from your face.
Taste the beans for doneness and salt. Adjust as necessary.
