Sonoran Maneado Beans

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 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.
2. Add ½ onion, garlic and green chile pepper. Do Not add salt.
3. 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.
4. While the beans are cooking, blanch the chiles (I remove the seeds first) in boiling water.
5. Once the time is up, turn the handle to release pressure until all steam is released.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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).
9. Add the mashed beans, stir very well until everything is incorporated.
10. Add the various cheeses, stir well, and add salt and a little of the juice from the pickled jalapeños.
11. If it seems a bit dry, add evaporated milk. Check the seasoning.
12. Enjoy with Sonoran flour tortillas.
