Caribbean Black Beans and Rice is an easy-to-make main or side dish that's packed with protein, flavor, and fiber! Using your instant pot creates an instant pot black beans and rice recipe with perfectly cooked rice cooked in nutty coconut milk and seasoned with simple spices. Try this with your favorite Latin dish as a side or as a vegetarian meal during the week! It's vegetarian, gluten-free, made from mostly pantry ingredients, and is one of my family's favorite dishes of all time.
