Why are these the best instant pot black beans? Let’s just say that once you make them, you will be hooked and start making them on repeat each week. Our family loves to eat them by themselves with some tortilla chips! Every time the eat through a batch of beans, my kids ask me to make another batch.  Here are some of our other favorite ways to eat them.
