Instructions

  1. Rinse the beans and remove any pebbles or debris. Place the rinsed beans in the Instant Pot.
  2. To the pot, add the water, onion, jalapeño, garlic, chili powder and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Place the lid on the pot and turn the valve to seal.
  4. Select high pressure and 50 minutes for the cook time.
  5. Once the time has passed, let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes, then finish with a quick pressure release. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid.
  6. Remove the jalapeño and stir in the pepper. Add more salt to taste, if desired.

Notes

  • *Our water is pretty hard, so I find that the best way to ensure soft beans is to use distilled water. If you don’t have super hard water, you may be able to use tap water instead.
