  • -28 oz. Can of Diced Tomatoes
  • -15 oz. Can of Pinto Beans drained & rinsed
  • -8 oz. Jar of Taco Sauce Can use mild, medium, or even hot, depending on degree of “heat” you like. I use mild because of my young children

  • -¼ Cup Cilantro Chopped optional for Garnish

Instructions

  • Turn on Instant Pot to Sauté Mode and add 2 tablespoon of EVOO, then add bell peppers and onions.
  • Sauté veggies until soft, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Add cut up pork roast and ground pork, cook until no longer pink, stirring frequently.
  • Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  • Add beer and deglaze bottom of pan by scraping up any browned bits.
  • Add chili powder, cumin, oregano, and bay leaves and stir.
  • Next, stir in remaining ingredients: tomato paste, canned diced tomatoes, pinto beans, taco sauce and tomatillos.
  • Press Cancel/Off button in Instant Pot.
  • Then, press Bean/Chili button in Instant Pot and cook. Once the pressure builds, the timer will come on and it will take 30 minutes to cook.
  • When it is done cooking, you can allow the pressure to slowly release, or you can release it by using the pressure release (venting) valve.
  • I like to let it slowly release for 10 minutes before using the pressure release (venting) valve.
  • Serve warm topped with cheese, avocado, and additional toppings of your choosing!
