A bowl of seasoned brown rice topped with pinto beans, garnished with fresh cilantro. Two lime wedges rest on the side. Tortilla chips are partially visible in the background on a striped surface, hinting at a recipe that's as easy as using your Instant Pot.

Instant Pot Pinto Beans

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups Doudlah Farms Organics dry pinto beans
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth

Seasoning mix:

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

Step 1

Place beans in a colander, rinse them under cold water, and discard any stones, dirt, or broken beans.

Step 2

Select sauté mode on the Instant Pot. Add the oil. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the broth, beans, and seasonings. Stir and secure the lid. Turn the Instant Pot to manual mode and select high pressure for 1 hour.

Step 4

When completed, allow the pressure to release naturally, about 15-20 minutes. If there is a small amount of pressure still in the pot, manually release it at this time.

Step 5

Open the pot, stir and allow the beans to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Serving suggestions: over rice, casseroles, tacos, burritos, or any Tex-Mex dish. Cooked beans will keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container for one week.
