This was good and easy. I held back a little on the chipotle chili powder per the other review and it was not spicy at all. The meal sat in the instant pot on warm for quite some time so therefore all the liquid was absorbed without it being mushy. I will make this again when easy is the goal!

Too hot especially for kids. Reduce chipotle to 1/4 teasp. or less. Good flavor but very spicy with 1/2 teaspoon chipotle. I cooked in a regular Dutch oven size pot, sautéing onions, adding spices etc. My rice called for 45 minutes, so I heated rice and beans to boil, then covered & turned to simmer. I for 55 min. I used 3.5 cups water. The beans could have used another 15 minutes although I soaked them overnight.
