Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Set the Instant Pot to saute mode and add oil. Once it heats, add the onion and jalapeno. Saute for 4-5 minutes or until the onions begin to brown.
  • Cancel the saute mode and add all the remaining ingredients. Mix well and secure the IP lid.
  • Set the Instant Pot in Bean/Chili mode for 40 minutes. Do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then do a quick manual release of the remaining pressure.
  • Blend using an immersion blender until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve immediately or store.

Notes

  • Swap water for vegetable or chicken broth for added richness.
  • For a more traditional version, use pinto beans instead of black beans.
  • I like to blend the cooked beans well to get a smooth and creamy texture. You can blend less to keep it chunky if you prefer.
