Ingredients
  • 1 pound dry pinto beans
  • 1 onion
  • 1 bell pepper (any color)
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 jalapeño
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 can (14.5-ounce) fire roasted tomatoes
Directions
  1. Pour the beans into a large bowl and cover by 2-inches with water. Let them soak for 30 minutes. Then rinse well with cold water.
  2. Chop the onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeño.
  3. Add the oil to the instant pot and select the saute button. Once hot, add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeño. Saute for 5 minutes stirring frequently.
  4. Select the cancel button. Add the beans, broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and smoked paprika. Stir well, then add the can of tomatoes to the top of the mixture. Do not stir -- this helps to avoid getting the burn setting.
  5. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the nozzle is set to sealing. Select high pressure and set the time to 50 minutes. When the time is up, let them natural release for 30 minutes. Then switch the nozzle on the lid to venting. Any leftover pressure will release through the lid. Open the lid and serve.
