  3. Stir in cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, and oregano.
  4. Add beef broth, chili beans, chili, kidney beans, black beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, and Rotel tomatoes. Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Make sure to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and twist shut. Place the vent tab on "sealing". Press the "manual" button and cook on high pressure for 30 minutes. Allow to natural release for 10-12 minutes, then quick release.
