Instant Pot Charro Beans
Ingredients
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro, or to taste
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons tomato-flavored bouillon
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable bouillon
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
1
Combine water and pinto beans in a pressure cooker, then add the chopped onion, salsa, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeno pepper, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of paprika.
2
Next, add the tomato bouillon and vegetable bouillon to the pot, followed by a pinch of cumin and a few grinds of black pepper.
3
Close the lid securely and make sure it's locked in place.
4
Select the Bean/Chili function on your pressure cooker and set the timer for 45 minutes.
5
The pressure cooker will build up to high pressure within 10-15 minutes, at which point the cooking process will begin.
6
After the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally according to the manufacturer's instructions - this may take anywhere from 10-40 minutes.
7
Once the pressure has released, carefully unlock and remove the lid to reveal your deliciously cooked pinto beans.
