For a smoky depth, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of pickled jalapeños or omit them altogether. These beans are excellent served as a side dish with grilled meats or as a base for vegetarian tacos or bowls. If you don't have picante sauce, you can substitute with your favorite salsa. The natural release is crucial for the beans to cook properly and prevents them from bursting. Be patient!
