Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups water or 4 cups stock
  • 2 1/2 cups dry pinto beans, sorted and rinsed
  • 1 onion, large, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, rough chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
 

  • Rinse & sort pinto beans then add to Instant Pot with vegetables, spices, herbs, and water (or stock).
  • Set Instant Pot to “Bean/Chili” setting for 45 minutes.
  • Let pressure release naturally – about 15-20 minutes.
  • Once cooked, discard bay leafs.
  • Add salt to beans as desired (check the salt level in the juice, not the bean) then mash or puree using a masher, food mill, food processor, blender, or stick-blender. If you mash by hand the beans will be more rustic, if you want them smooth then use a blender (I prefer to use a stick blender).
  • Makes about 8 cups.
