This Pinto Beans Instant Pot Recipe is a flavorful and easy way to use your pantry staple dried beans, no soaking required! A fantastic high fiber & protein pinto beans recipe that is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Add to breakfast burritos, dips, salads, or your next taco night!
Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode, add olive oil, garlic, and onions and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until onions become translucent and begin to shimmer.
Add the dried beans, chili powder, cumin, no salt seasoning, vegetable stock, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set to Manual/Pressure Cook mode for 45 minutes.
Allow the beans to naturally release for 20 minutes, and then quick release the remainder of the pressure, taking care to keep your hands and face away from the steam vent.
Once the flat valve drops, carefully open the lid. Add the lime juice, cilantro, and green onions, and stir well to combine. Serve and enjoy!
