    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic
    • 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
    • 1 pound dried pinto beans

1

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker and select the Sauté function. Add oil, onion, garlic, and oregano; cook for 5 minutes. Stir in beans and water.

2

Close and lock the lid. Choose high pressure and set the timer for 35 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

3

Release pressure using the natural-release method, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Check a bean; if not tender, close the lid and cook for 5 more minutes at high pressure.

4

Drain beans, reserving 2 cups of liquid. Return beans to the pot. Add salt and 1/2 of the reserved liquid; purée using a stick blender, adding more cooking liquid as needed.

5
