Instant Pot Mango Barbacoa With Black Beans

March 15, 2021 by Angela Leave a Comment

Instant Pot Mango Barbacoa

I *love* beef barbacoa (like who doesn’t right?) and I was looking for something similar to Chipotle but with a bit of a twist. I also had a bunch of mangos that I wanted to use up and I thought the flavor of Adobo would be awesome with mango.

This recipe comes together very quickly in the Instant Pot.

For the black beans

Cooking beans from dry is so easy in the Instant Pot. Just add all the ingredients: dried black beans, water, spices, and Minor’s Ham Base. You could just use salt but the ham base gives the beans SUCH an amazing flavor.

Cook in the Instant Pot for 35 minutes and quick release. I’ve been using the Instant Pot Duo 8 quart and I *LOVE* it. Adding the option to air fry and broil is so convenient.

For the barbacoa and mango salsa

Peel and dice the mango flesh. I noticed there was a LOT of waste going on there, so I cooked the skins and seeds with some water in the Instant Pot to extract some of the flavor, and used that as the juice to cook the meat in.

Before and after cooking…then just strain the skins and pits out.

To the remaining mango juice, add the beef, the spices, the chopped Chipotle with with the Adobo sauce, Better Than Bullion Beef Base, and juice of half a lime. Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes (thawed beef) or 45 minutes (frozen beef) and quick release.

For the Mango salsa

Combine the diced mangoes, half a bunch of cilantro diced, and the juice of half a lime.

Assemble your burritos

We used the Barbacoa, some lime cilantro rice, the black beans, cheese, and the mango salsa.

We served with some fresh pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole and Cholula sauce.
