Double Drunk Borracho Beans (Instant Pot)

Borracho beans are mexican tradition!! They're amazing! For anyone new trying them out, you cannot taste the beer. It is a bit spicy but I promise just a bit. If you want it more spicy, add in another Serrano pepper.

I could drink the juice by itself so the more beer the better

I love restaurant style pinto beans, this is a fun take on them. Hope you enjoy and don't be afraid to spice it up or add your own ingredients.

This started as my Mother's recipe. She just simply cooked them on the stove top. I tweaked what I wanted, and it's easy peasy. What used to take roughly 3 hours is now 1 hour!! No need to pre-soak the beans whatsoever.

Recipe uses equal parts of each ingredient per one can of green beans.

Pinto beans done in a crockpot makes an easy meal. It is good ol' comfort food for a cold day. Add some homemade cornbread to sop up all that goodness.

This is, by far, the easiest way to make homemade refried beans. It does take some planning ahead, but for the most part, this recipe is very hands off. These are creamy and nicely seasoned. They're not spicy, so long as you remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Feel free to substitute the pinto beans for black beans to mix things up.

I dont have an instant pot, but I saw you could cook beans in it and was intrigued. I pulled out the rice cooker to see what I could do and was pleasantly surprised. Made some delicious bean and cheese burritos.

So, I live in the great state of Texas. And, as you can imagine, I am very fond of “Tex-mex” food.I would have to say that I was inspired by my mother when it comes to this recipe.

I have tried for a couple years to get my refried beans to taste like the ones I get at my favorite mexican restaurant. I think I finally nailed it!

Cook a big pot of beans and some corn bread and you got a delicious meal. Add some sausage and thick bacon and a can of Rotel to jaz it up and spice it up with a serrano pepper.

A one pound bag of dried beans is too much for just the two of us so I break them in half and make two different things out of them. The first go-round which was the first time I tried making dried beans in my instant pot, was red beans and rice. Don't look, you won't find it here because even though it tasted exceptionally good there were quite a few fails during the process. So I modified the recipe and here is the new one, but we're eating this with bread instead of rice because my wife wanted to, so it has a thinner broth. So give this a try and I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it. If you use a different type of bean, most likely you will need to adjust the cooking time. These small red beans take a lot longer to cook then some other types of dried beans.

These beans are flavored with just the right amount of chili powder to make it everyone's favorite

A fusion of an Instant Pot goulash cooking process with traditional TexMex ingredients that makes a quick and easy family favorite.

Spanish bean soup and Cuban sandwiches is a way of life in the area where I live and grew up in. Dipping the sandwich into the delicious broth of the soup. The sandwich pictured with my soup is from the local sandwich shop called the Strawberry Hut.

These are So Very Good!!!

Raised in South Texas in a family of 6, this dish was a staple growing up. It is inexpensive and oh so yummy! My mother would serve this with a batch of biscuits and there was nothing left when we were through. It is still one of my favorite comfort meals to this day.

An Italian twist on pork and beans

Easy and delicious recipe taken from the World of the Happy Pear

I suppose if I can do Rockin' Bockin' Black Bean Steak Soup, Rockin' Bockin' Texas Ranchero Beans can be a thing too! Made with Shiner Bock beer, these beans capture the favorite flavors of Texas!

A little Sweet and Spicy...

#CA2025 A friend brought this to one of our cookouts. Everyone loved it. You can slow cook in your crockpot or simmer on the stove. I like to use smoked brisket if I have any leftovers. Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream, jalapenos, cheese whatever suits you or eat without extras. This can be a meal by itself or a game day appetizer.

Playing with the pressure cooker feature of my Express Crock again, and came out with some of the most delicious beans I've ever made. Yummo!

Serve as a main dish or a side. Spice it up by adding chopped/seeded jalapeno peppers as a garnish or incorporate into the cooking process.

All organic, vegetarian fast food filled with tons of flavor! I use flour tortilla for this one but corn taco shells work too.
