Instant Pot Refried Beans

I basically followed this recipe but changed a couple things.

Add to instant pot:
1 1/2 pounds dry pinto beans, rinsed (but my family prefers black beans)
8 cups water
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 jalapeño, cored, seeded and finely chopped
3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced (or equivalent amount of granulated or dried garlic)
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 TB olive oil

Instant Pot high for 40 min. This makes a really good "just bean" soup--this is my lunch today. I plan to blend them (the recipe says to drain but reserve liquid in case some needs to be added back in) tonight for burritos with homemade tortillas for the family. The original recipe says low-sodium broth, but I didn't have it, and I left everything else the same, and I like the salt content.


Another recipe for black beans:

2 cups black beans

1 small yellow onion, diced

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Sprinkled garlic powder

3 1/4 cups water

40 min and natural release
