Remove from the heat and set aside.
- When your beans are tender, add your mixture and a handful of cilantro. Cook for another 5 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use vegetable broth instead of water. You don't want to use too much water if using an Instant Pot or Slow Cooker because it does not cook down like cooking stovetop does. If you soaked your beans overnight they will take less water.
