Instructions
- Add the beans to the Instant Pot®, cover them with enough water without exceeding the pot’s maximum limit. It is recommended that beans be soaked overnight.
- Add ½ onion, garlic and green chile pepper. Do Not add salt.
- Close and lock the Instant Pot® lid. Make sure the steam release handle is turned to Sealing. Press Pressure Cook and set time to 20 Minutes.
- While the beans are cooking, blanch the chiles (I remove the seeds first) in boiling water.
- Once the time is up, turn the handle to release pressure until all steam is released.
- Remove the beans, transfer them to a pot together with some of the cooking broth. Remove excess broth and mash them well, add salt. You can use a hand blender to make mashing easier.
- In a blender, add: blanched chiles, 2 cloves of garlic, onion, chipotle, jalapeño, salt to taste and some of the beans’ cooking liquid. Blend well.
- Place the stainless steel inner pot inside the Instant Pot®. Press Saute and set time to 15 Minutes. Add butter or oil. When well heated, add the sauce and fry (until they get curled up).
- Add the mashed beans, stir very well until everything is incorporated.
- Add the various cheeses, stir well, and add salt and a little of the juice from the pickled jalapeños.
- If it seems a bit dry, add evaporated milk. Check the seasoning.
- Enjoy with Sonoran flour tortillas.
