Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 ½ cup water
- 1 pound dry pinto beans rinsed and sorted
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Set the Instant Pot to Saute mode and add the olive oil. When the pot is heated, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent. Turn off the Instant Pot.
- Add the chicken broth and water. Using a spatula, scrape off any stuck-on onion or garlic bits from the bottom of the Instant Pot.
- Add the beans and season with chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to Pressure Cook for 45 minutes. Do a natural release when the cook time is over.
- After the pressure has been released, remove the lid and carefully drain the beans, reserving some of the liquid. Add the beans back to the Instant Pot and pour in ½ to ¾ cup reserved liquid. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the beans until they are smooth, adding more liquid if needed.

Notes
