1 jalapeno, seeded and halved
1/2 pound bacon, chopped
3 cloves garlic crushed
2 small cans chopped green chiles

Set Instant Pot to saute. Cook bacon until fat is rendered. Remove bacon but leave fat. Saute onion and jalapeno in bacon fat until softened and translucent. Add in garlic, cumin and chili powder. Cook for 1 minute. Add 6 cups water, pinto beans reserved bacon and green chilis. Cook on high pressure for 60 min sealed. Release steam or vent naturally. Remove lid, add salt and pepper to taste. If you like the beans thicker you can continue cooking on saute (low or medium) with lid off until they reach your desired thickness.
