The cooked pinto beans blend up creamy and delicious. Just add some Mexican Rice with your homemade refried beans and it is a perfect side dish for every Mexican Dinner!
You do not have to soak the beans overnight…saving you time!
The Instant Pot does most of the work…no watching and stirring pots on the stove. Plus, we use layers of flavor for this recipe… onions, garlic, jalapeno, chicken base and spices.
The recipe calls for olive oil and chicken base instead of lard. This base also comes in beef and vegetable.
You can use them as a side dish… and the leftovers make a killer bean burrito.
