INGREDIENTS

1/2 pound bacon chopped (about 8 slices)
1/2 yellow onion ; chopped
2 cloves garlic ; minced
1 pound dried pinto beans
3 cups water
2 cups beef broth
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
1 jalapeno, minced with seeds removed (optional)
1/2 bunch of fresh cilantro ; chopped
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

In the Instant Pot using the sauté setting, cook the chopped bacon until crispy.

Add the onions and garlic, and cook until the onions are softened. I don't drain the bacon grease because I think it adds to the flavor of the charro beans, but if there is a lot of it, you can drain most of it before adding the onions, leaving just a little to cook the onions in.

Add all of the remaining ingredients to the bacon, onions, and garlic, then secure the lid and change the setting to high pressure (my Instant Pot has a button for "beans/chili" that I press and set to "Normal") for 30 minutes.

When the time is up, allow the pressure cooker to do a complete natural release before removing the lid. It will take about 30-45 minutes.
