Instant Pot Refried Beans

This recipe is super easy to make and the result is delicious re-fried beans. I usually use canned beans but you can use dry beans as well. The cooking time will increase if you use dry beans. Traditionally re-fried beans are made with pinto beans but you can really use any kind of beans.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 chopped white onion
2 tablespoons of chopped/crushed garlic
1 chopped jalapeno
2 cans of pinto beans or 2 cups of dry beans (rinsed)
2 cups of vegetable stock
2 tsp of onion powder
3 tsp of cumin powder
2 tsp of oregano
2 bayleaves
2 tablespoons of lime juice
1.5 tsp of salt

Garnish with cilantro leaves, red onion, tomatoes, lemon wedges, jalapeno slices

1) Wash pinto beans and set aside.
2) On Saute, add oil, chopped onion, chopped garlic and chopped jalapeno. Saute until onion is golden brown.

3) Add stock and deglaze the pot.
4) Turn off saute mode and add remaining stock.

5) Add beans, spices and bay leaf.
6) Pressure cook  on high pressure for 35 mins if using dry beans and 5 minutes if you are using canned beans. I have used canned beans here in the picture.

7) Once pressure cooking time is done, Quick release if you used canned beans. If you used dry beans than natural release for 20 mins.
8) Open once release is done and drain most of the liquid out. Keep about 1/4 or 1/2 cup of liquid.
9) Blend or mash the beans into a puree.
