Our family eats a lot of whole food plant-based meals that consist of rice and beans. That makes it extra important to have a quick and easy recipe to make our black beans.

With this easy InstantPot or electric pressure cooker recipe, you can go from dry beans to perfectly cooked black beans in just 30 minutes!
