Birria Rice and Frijoles Negros (dairy, tomato/tomatillo free)

Birria Rice

• 1 1/2 cups long grain rice (brown or white)

• 1 1/2 cups broth of choice (2 cups if you’re using brown rice)

• 1 teaspoon of your favorite birria seasoning

• Sea salt to taste

Rinse your rice well and add to your rice cooking device (I use an Instant Pot), add your broth and seasonings and cook according to your rice & cooker’s directions (I did brown rice in the Instant Pot on high pressure for 22 minutes, instant pressure release).

Frijoles Negros

• 3 cans of black beans

• 1 tablespoon bacon grease or avocado oil

• 1 teaspoon cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 1/4 teaspoon powdered garlic

• 1/2 teaspoon Liquid Smoke (optional)

Heat your oil or grease in a medium saucepan. If you want a refried texture, drain and rinse two of the three cans of beans and add to the pan with your hot oil, and add the third can without draining, with the liquid. Partially mash the beans, and add the spices and mix throughly to combine and to smooth out the beans’ texture. Bring to a boil, and let boil while stirring constantly for a few minutes, until the beans thicken to your liking.
