Refried Pinto Beans – Pressure Cooker


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound dried pinto beans
  • 4 1/2 cups water or broth
  • 2 Tbsp minced (dried) onion
  • 2 tsp dried cilantro
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sort through beans, discarding anything funky, then rinse thoroughly
  2. Combine beans, water or broth, minced onion, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, and pepper flakes in pressure cooker. Stir. Seal up, set to 45 minutes on high pressure.
  3. Allow pressure to release naturally, which takes about 10 minutes.
  4. Mash with potato masher (I remove beans from the pressure cooker, so I don’t scratch the lining with my metal masher), then season to taste.
  5. This freezes well, just make certain to freeze in serving-sized containers (I put 1 1/2 cups in freezer bag or glass container)
