Ingredients
- 1 pound dry pinto beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped (white or yellow)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 6 cups water (or chicken or vegetable broth)
- 1 teaspoon Salt, plus more to taste
- chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse and drain pinto beans under running water. Discard any beans that are cracked or split in half, as well as any rocks or debris.
- Press the saute button on the Instant Pot and add the olive oil. When hot, add the onions. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions become translucent.
- Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano and black pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring continuously.
- Add the water and pinto beans. Stir everything together to combine.
- Cover with lid, seal the pressure valve and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.
- When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 20 minutes. Then carefully open the pressure valve to manually release any remaining pressure.
- Season with salt, starting with 1 teaspoon. Then taste and season with more salt as desired.
- Serve immediately with chopped cilantro for garnish.
Notes
- Don't want to make a big batch? You can cut this recipe in half! The cook time will be the same.
- Can you freeze cooked beans? Yes, you can. Let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Which Instant Pot do you recommend? Here’s the model that I have. It's a 6-qt. capacity and good for families of up to 6. I absolutely love it! If you have a bigger family or want to meal prep very large quantities, you may want to try the 8-qt. size.
