Pressure Cooker Mexican Beef Rice

Prep:15 mins     Cook: 30 mins     Additional Time: 5 mins     Total: 50 mins     Servings:8

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 cup diced red onion

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 2 cups water

  • 2 cups chunky salsa

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed

  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup cooked corn kernels

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select the Sauté function. Heat oil in pot. Add beef, onion, chili powder, salt, and cumin (see Cook's Note); cook and stir, breaking up beef until crumbled and browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in water, salsa, and rice.

  2. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 8 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid.

  4. Add black beans, corn, and cilantro; stir to combine. Select the Sauté function; cook, stirring occasionally, until beans and corn are heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish; top with Cheddar cheese.

Cook's Notes:

If you prefer, you can use a Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese blend or a 4-cheese Mexican blend.
