Ingredients

The beans

  • 1 lb dry beans (rinsed and sorted) - Kidney, Pinto, or Black Beans

The aromatics and spices

  • 1 Large Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Tbsp Bacon Fat, Lard, or Olive Oil
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 tsp Kosher or Sea Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 ½ tsp Cumin
  • ½ tsp Mexican Oregano (or regular oregano)
  • 2 Bay Leaves

The liquid

  • 4 ¼ cups Chicken Broth (or Vegetable Broth or Water)

Optional

  • 1-2 Jalapeño, seeded and chopped

Instructions

  1. Rinse, drain, and sort the beans, then place them in the Instant Pot.
  2. Add the chopped onion, fat/oil, jalapeño, garlic, spices, and bay leaves, then stir.
  3. Pour in the broth or water.
  4. Seal the lid of the Instant Pot and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
  5. Select Pressure Cook or Manual and set the timer for 45 minutes on High Pressure.
  6. Once cooking is complete, allow the pot to naturally release pressure for 15-25 minutes.
  7. Manually release any remaining pressure by turning the steam release knob to Venting, then open the lid carefully.
  8. Stir the beans, noting they may appear thin but will thicken as they cool. Discard the bay leaves.
  9. Blend the beans using an immersion blender or food processor, or mash them for a chunkier texture.
