Instant Pot Mexican Pinto Beans Recipe - Easy Mexican pinto beans taste wonderful over rice!
Of course, any great recipe featuring legumes should start with Hurst’s Brand beans.
You can pick these up in the dry beans section of your local grocery store—I get mine at Kroger. Sometimes when my husband looks in our pantry he will ask me if I think we need any more beans. It’s his way of poking fun at me for my stockpile.

One of the things that I appreciate most about pressure cooker meals is being able to throw all of my ingredients into the pot and letting it go. It’s no different with this Instant Pot Mexican pinto beans recipe!

First, you’ll want to set your Instant Pot to sauté and add some extra-virgin olive oil.

When the oil is hot, add your yellow onion and cook until it becomes tender and translucent.

Next, add your rinsed pinto beans with the included flavor packet, one can of RO-TEL, 5 cups low sodium chicken broth, 1 cup tomato sauce, and 1 teaspoon of cumin.

Delicious Instant Pot Mexican pinto beans are a wonderful side dish, but also work well spooned over rice.
