Start your pressure cooker heating as you chop your vegetables. (Instant Pot: Set on Sauté.) Chop the vegetables in the order listed and add them to the hot pot, stirring as you go. After you add the garlic, cook until the onions and peppers have begun to soften, about 5-6 minutes total.

Add the seasonings, beans, water, and tomatoes and stir well. Seal the lid and use the Pressure Cooker or Manual mode to set time to 3 minutes at high pressure.

Step 3

After 3 minutes at high pressure, release the steam manually. Open the pot and stir in the corn and bulgur wheat. Taste and add additional chili powder, cumin, chipotle powder, or salt to taste. Simmer on low heat (Instant Pot on Sauté, low) until the bulgur is cooked and the chili has thickened, stirring often.

Serve in bowls with lime wedges to squeeze over chili and hot peppers and salsa to add at the table.
