Instant Pot Chili with Canned Beans and Tofu
Ingredients
For the Instant Pot Chili
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 bell pepper chopped (Whatever color you like!)
- 1 block extra firm tofu pressed and diced or torn into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon coriander
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup water or 1.5 cups water, if you have a newer Instant Pot
- 1 Not Beef Cube or your favorite vegan bouillon
- 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
- 15 ounce can pinto beans drained and rinsed
- 14.5 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
- 1 cup fresh, frozen, or canned corn
Toppings (Choose your faves!)
- Haas avocado
- green onions
- pickled jalapenos
- vegan sour cream
- vegan cheese shreds
Instructions
- Press your pressure cooker's sauté button, and add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion, bell pepper, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for a few minutes, until the onion turns translucent.
- Add the tofu to the pot, then sprinkle on the ½ teaspoon salt and all of the ground spices. Toss well to coat, then add the remaining tofu chili ingredients to the Instant Pot. Stir, and lock your pressure cooker's lid. Bring to high pressure for 8 minutes, then do a 10-minute natural release.
- Serve topped with your toppings of choice.
Notes
My Instant Pot is an older model, and the newer pots seem to cook hotter. If you are using a newer Instant Pot, use the higher water amount.
Creamy Buffalo Chili Variation: If you love Buffalo sauce like I do, I highly recommend adding it to this chili! Just add about a tablespoon to your bowl, if you're craving some heat. I like to offset the spicy, vinegary Buffalo sauce with a dollop of vegan sour cream or non-dairy yogurt. So good!
