Ingredients
- 1 pound dried pinto beans
- 7 cups water
- 1 onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Place pinto beans and water in Instant Pot. Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. Let natural release for 15 minutes.
- Remove beans from cooking water with a slotted spoon. Set cooking water aside as you will use some later.
- Turn Instant Pot to saute mode and heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Saute onion and garlic until softened, about 4 minutes. Turn Instant Pot off.
- In pot with onions, add cooked beans, 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, chili powder, cumin, vinegar, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use an immersion blender to combine ingredients. Add reserved water from cooking beans, 1 tbsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached. For me, this took 4 tbsp of the water. Note: If you do not have an immersion blender, you may transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor.
