QUICK BLACK BEANS WITH RICE

Steps:

• In a 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno and salt. Saute until the onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beans, epazote and 6 cups water; stir well, and then lock the lid (following the manufacturer's instructions). Once the beans come up to pressure, turn the heat down to medium to maintain pressure; cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then release the pressure. Remove the epazote, and taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Just before serving, fold the cilantro and lime juice into the cooked rice.
• Garnish beans with the Cotija and serve alongside the rice.
