Prep Time
Prep time for this recipe only takes about 10 minutes, with most of the time going towards chopping the vegetables and measuring out ingredients. Once that is done, the rest of the process is easy and quick.
Cook Time
Cook time for this recipe is about 30 minutes. The Instant Pot does the majority of the work and keeps the beans at a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process. The beans are cooked until they are tender, yet still have a bite. This ensures they don’t turn to mush when they’re done.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. pinto beans
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 bay leaves
Instructions
1. Start by pressing the “saute” button on the Instant Pot and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
2. Add the pinto beans and stir to combine with the vegetables and spices. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaves. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to “sealing”. Cook on high pressure for 25 minutes.
3. Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes before manually releasing the remaining pressure. Remove the lid and discard the bay leaves. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
4. Serve the beans with your favorite accompaniments or use them in recipes like tacos, burritos, or enchiladas.
