Pinto beans

I've been working on this recipe for a while.   Here is my current approach to Pinto Beans.   Ingredients 1 pound dry pinto beans ½ small white onion chopped 4 cloves garlic minced (or teaspoon of Garlic powder) 1 jalapeño seeds and ribs removed and chopped 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin ¼ teaspoon black pepper 4.5 cups water, or broth ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste Optional Ingredients Smoked Pork (ham hock, pork pieces, pork knuckle or whatever) this is for flavor only and can be pulled out after cooking 1 teaspoon Tony Chachere's seasoning 1 Poblano pepper  seeds and ribs removed and chopped Cilantro to taste Instructions Rinse and pick over beans to make sure there are no small pebbles or other debris. Put pinto beans in the Instant Pot. Add the water and remaining ingredients, except for the salt, and stir to combine. Close the Instant Pot lid and turn the steam release valve to the sealing position. Set the cook time to 30
