Instant Pot Quick Pinto Beans
Ingredients
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 pound dried pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions, or to taste
  • 2 green chile peppers
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
1
Prepare the necessary components by collecting all required ingredients.
2
Activate a versatile pressure cooking device, such as an Instant Pot, and activate its Sauté mode. Introduce diced bacon into the device and cook it while stirring occasionally for 4 to 6 minutes.
3
Add a mixture of chicken broth, pinto beans, water, chopped onions, diced chile peppers, garlic powder, salt, chili powder, cumin, and paprika to the pressure cooker. Securely close and lock the lid.
4
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for setting high pressure; set a timer according to their instructions, with a recommended duration of 45 minutes. Allow for 10 to 15 minutes before the pressure builds naturally.
5
Release the built-up pressure using the natural-release method, as indicated by the manufacturer's instructions, for a period of 10 to 40 minutes. Remove the lid and unlock it.
6
Discard the added bacon and chile peppers, then chop them to your preferred texture. Return the chopped ingredients to the pressure cooker.
7
Mash the pinto beans using a potato masher until they achieve your desired consistency.
