Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound dry pinto beans (2 cups)
- 6 cups distilled water*
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper, cut in half lengthwise
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse the beans and remove any pebbles or debris. Place the rinsed beans in the Instant Pot.
- To the pot, add the water, onion, jalapeño, garlic, chili powder and salt. Stir to combine.
- Place the lid on the pot and turn the valve to seal.
- Select high pressure and 50 minutes for the cook time.
- 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.
- Remove the jalapeño and stir in the pepper. Add more salt to taste, if desired.
Recipe 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.
