Instant Pot Refried Beans
Creamy, flavorful, and completely zero Weight Watchers points, these Instant Pot refried beans are the perfect healthy staple for meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 pound dried pinto beans
- 8 cups water
- 2 tablespoons chicken bouillion
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (or one packet taco seasoning)
- 4 tablespoons Taco Bell fire sauce
Instructions
- Put everything into the instant pot and mix until combined.
- Pressure cook on high for 25 minutes.
- (My instant pot has a "bean" setting so I cooked mine on the bean setting for 20 minutes).
- Let the pressure cooker sit for 20 minutes after cooking. Release the steam.
- Let cool slightly and add beans and some of the water to a blender, adding more water if needed for desired consistency.
- Optional: garlish with chopped cilantro and salsa matcha.
Notes
Without the salsa matcha garnish, these beans are zero Weight Watchers points.
Salsa Macha
Salsa macha is one of those bold, flavor-packed condiments that instantly elevates anything it touches. Originating in Mexico, it’s made with dried chiles, garlic, oil, and often nuts or seeds, creating a rich, slightly smoky sauce with a little crunch and serious depth of flavor. It’s not your typical fresh salsa. It’s more like a chili oil with personality. Drizzle it over eggs, tacos, roasted vegetables, grilled meats, or even avocado toast for a spicy, savory kick that keeps you coming back for more.

New Here?
If you are new here, welcome to My Bizzy Kitchen! I started this blog 16 years ago to document my recipes and daily life, never imagining it would one day become my full-time career. After losing my husband nearly 10 years ago, I navigated the hardest chapter of my life while still finding joy in cooking and sharing my journey.
In December 2020, I took a leap of faith and left my 30-year career as a legal secretary to pursue My Bizzy Kitchen full-time, a decision that changed my life.
Two years later, in October 2022, I was able to hire my daughter, Hannah, full-time, which brings me so much joy. Now, My Bizzy Kitchen is more than just recipes. It’s about embracing life, finding balance, and making healthy living sustainable and fun.
