- ½ medium white onion, halved

- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste

Chef's tipCook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed. - ½ tsp dried oregano
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 jalapeño, halved (optional)
Instructions

Add the rinsed pinto beans, chicken broth, water, onion halves, smashed garlic, cumin, salt, oregano, black pepper, and jalapeño (if using) to the Instant Pot insert. The liquid should cover the beans by at least 1 inch; add a splash more water if needed.
