Should I add chillies to beans before I pressure cook them?

I have a chili recipe I've been using for years, modifying from time to time. I would like it to be "hotter".
Not the kind of spicy hot that burns your mouth, but instead - the kind of spicy hot that makes my forehead "bead up" with perspiration (like happens with American South-West green chili). Normally I combine all my ingredients in a large pot, including diced habaneros (Rotel prepared - peppers & tomatoes - diced) and then I mix in my pressure cooked pinto beans at the end and simmer for 10 - minutes - let sit- 10 minutes.

Should I instead add the hot Rotel diced habaneros & tomatoes into the pressure cooker with the pinto beans - cooking them together? - would that more effectively "infuse" the beans with chili hotness? thus increasing the hot spicy factor when combined with the rest in the big pot?

thank you
