The BEST Instant Pot Refried Beans with Onion, Garlic, and Chiles

dried pinto beans (No need to soak the beans, but beans that are fresher will cook more quickly. If your beans have been sitting on the shelf for a while, add 5-10 minutes cooking time.)

+ 2 T olive oil (Or use lard, bacon grease, or any other fat you prefer for frying the beans.)

chopped onion

minced garlic (garlic from a jar is fine for this)

diced green chiles (I used Anaheim chiles, called green chiles in U.S. stores, but you can use hotter chiles if you prefer.)

salt

grated cheese, for serving (I used Four Cheese Mexican blend, which is a mix of cheeses)

thinly sliced green onions, for serving
