I like to use a blend of New Mexico chile powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper for a Mexican-inspired flavor. These Instant Pot pinto beans are flavorful enough to eat alone but seasoned perfectly for a variety of Tex-Mex meals. You could also lean heavily into tomato and molasses flavors, along with plenty of pork, for a number of baked bean recipes. Or, lean into earthy flavors with some combination of thyme, sage, rosemary, and marjoram!
