Easy Vegan Instant Pot Pinto Beans And Rice
  1. Soak the beans in 6 cups (or more) of water overnight. If you need a quicker method, hop up to the section in the post about soaking beans. Drain and rinse after soaking.

  2. Stir the onions, garlic, peppers, jalapenos, soaked pinto beans, rice, spices, and vegetable broth in the Instant Pot. Pour the tomatoes over the top (don't stir them in).

  3. Secure the lid on the Instant Pot and close the steam handle to the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot on High Pressure for 23 minutes. Click the warming button off.

  4. Once the pressure-cooking process is done, leave the Instant Pot alone for 10 minutes of NPR (natural pressure release). After 10 minutes, carefully open the steam handle. Once the silver pressure valve retracts, remove the lid.

  5. Stir the ingredients. Mix in the lime juice and cilantro (if using). Taste the beans and rice. Add salt or adjust the other spices as desired.
