Mexican Bean Dip Instant Pot Food

EASY REFRIED BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Make the Instant Pot refried beans or Homemade Refried Beans, making sure they are warm before serving. If using canned beans, warm them on the stovetop in a saucepan and stir until creamy, adding a little water or broth if they are too thick. (If you make the refried beans in advance, reheat them on the stovetop.)
• Stir in the green chilis, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and hot sauce. Taste and add additional kosher salt if necessary. (If you're using canned refried beans, you may want to add additional cumin or lime
• For the salsa fresca topping, dice the tomato. Finely chop the red onion. Chop the cilantro. In a small bowl, mix the tomato, red onion and cilantro with the lime juice, cumin, and kosher salt. If using, thinly slice the jalapeno pepper into rounds.
• To serve, place the dip into a shallow dish. Top with the salsa topping and thinly sliced jalapeno pepper. Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Let pressure release naturally - about 15-20 minutes.
• Once cooked, discard bay leafs.
• Add salt to beans as desired (check the salt level in the juice, not the bean) then mash or puree using a masher, food mill, food processor, blender, or stick-blender. If you mash by hand the beans will be more rustic, if you want them smooth then use a blender (I prefer to use a stick blender).
