- 15 ounces canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1.5 cups beef or chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Set your pressure cooker to the sauté function and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is hot, add the ground beef. Cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until browned. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Step 3
Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are softened.
Step 4
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' fragrance.
Step 5
Add the diced tomatoes, drained kidney beans, black beans, tomato paste, and broth to the pot. Stir everything to combine.
Step 6
Place the lid on the pressure cooker and set it to cook at high pressure for 15 minutes.
Step 7
After the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
Step 8
Carefully remove the lid of the pressure cooker and give the chili a good stir.
Step 9
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the chili is too thick for your liking, you can stir in a bit of extra broth.
Step 10
Ladle the chili into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Step 11
Serve hot with crusty bread or tortilla chips on the side and enjoy!
