Pressure cook at High Pressure for 10 minutes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Cook at High Pressure for 10 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then finish with a quick release. When you remove the lid, the meat should be cooked through. Now you can remove the trivet from the pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blend the beans and break up the meat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n Use a food processor to blend one can of beans and about 1\/4 cup of the juices from the Instant Pot until smooth. Add this to the chili and stir to break up the meat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add the remaining beans and, for a thicker chili, add the crushed tortilla chips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let the flavors meld and the chili thicken for 10 minutes before serving. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

(If you’re eating right away, I’d start with cornstarch\u2014the cornmeal can add a gritty texture that takes several hours to soften.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blending the beans with some of the chili juices produces a more flavorful, thicker chili. You can use a food processor or blender for this step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
