Instant Pot® Vegetarian Chili image

A hint of spice, and lots of warmth. This chili is the perfect quick meal for a cool, busy day. Spruce it up however you enjoy your chili served! We like to serve ours over baked potatoes or rice with some Cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced onion, minced parsley, or cilantro. Bonus--the house smells delicious while this is cooking!

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons dried Mexican oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ cup vegetable broth
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (28 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
2 (14 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
2 (14 ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, seeded and finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil; add onion and saute, stirring occasionally until tender and slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute. Mix in chili powder, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder. Stir in tomato paste and saute the mixture for about 1 minute. Pour in broth and tomato sauce and with a wooden spoon scrape any browned bits from the base of the pot. This will prevent a burn notice. Mix in diced tomatoes, black beans, pinto beans, chipotle pepper, and salt (start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste after cooking).
  • Cancel Saute function. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 10 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
  • Stir chili and taste; adjust seasonings to your personal preference.
