1. Rinse beans and add to instant pot and cover beans in water about an inch + a half over the beans.
2. Add in 4 cloves of minced garlic, ACV, cumin, onion powder, and bay leaf to your instant pot.
3. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
4. While your beans cook, dice onions and bell pepper into small pieces.
5. Sauté onion, bell pepper, and remaining garlic in a skillet on the stove top.
