1 can (28 oz) fire-roasted crushed tomatoes
1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

½ tsp salt, plus more to taste

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

1
Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (Normal). Add the olive oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
2
Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne. Stir constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so the spices don't scorch.
