The Easiest Instant Pot, No Soak, Pinto Beans Ever
I praise my crockpot and instant pot all the time. I really use them all the time. Also, they are perfect when I don’t to heat up the house. Summer is coming to Texas in a blink. I turn to these helpful kitchen tools often for no real reason except for their ease of use, but when summer gets here, not heating up my house is often a motivating factor.
I try to soak my beans overnight with some apple cider vinegar but there are days I forget. These beans are perfect and are finished fast. I turned our leftovers into refried beans the next night for taco Tuesday. If you are following the trim healthy mama eating plan, these are an E, or energizing meal. I didn’t add any fat, even when I made them into refried beans.
