For a smoky depth, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika along with the other spices. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of pickled jalapeños or omit them altogether. These beans are excellent served as a side dish with grilled meats or as a base for vegetarian tacos or bowls. If you don't have picante sauce, you can substitute with your favorite salsa. The natural release is crucial for the beans to cook properly and prevents them from bursting. Be patient!

Follow The Directions
01
StepEngage the Sauté function on your multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot).
02
StepAdd olive oil to the pot and allow it to heat up for about 1 minute. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, approximately 2 minutes. Turn off the Sauté function.
03
StepAdd the dried cranberry beans, chicken broth, beer, picante sauce, cilantro, jalapeño peppers, garlic, oregano, and cumin to the pot. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are combined. (2 minutes)
04
StepSecure the lid, ensuring it's properly locked. Select high pressure and set the timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10-15 minutes for the pressure to build inside the pot.
05
StepOnce the timer goes off, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10-15 minutes, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Carefully release any remaining pressure.
06
StepOpen the pot and season the cranberry beans with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
