Instant Pot Chicken Taco Burrito Bowls

Pressure Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls, with a Mexican flair are made with good and wholesome ingredients and cooked to perfection in an Instant Pot.

Pressure Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls

Pressure Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls

Here is a dump and push start, really quick, easy and delicious week night meal. There is really no planning and you can throw it together in your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker, with only a moments notice.

These Pressure Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls made with Rice in ONE POT, is a very flexible recipe.

Choose to make your own Salsa with a couple cans of Diced Tomatoes, and some other ingredients, or you use Fresh Salsa (Costco makes a nice one) or Jarred Salsa.

By all the emails I get about my Pressure Cooker One Pot Chicken and Rice recipe, I figured you all might want another One Pot Chicken and Rice recipe. So, here you go!

Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls

  • Rotel Mexican and/or Diced Tomatoes, whichever you like.
  • Taco Seasoning
  • Red Pepper and Onion
  • Black Beans
  • Rice
  • Corn

If you use Jarred Salsa or Fresh Salsa, leave out the Onion, Garlic and Diced Tomatoes from the recipe.

Don’t forget to make up a batch of my This Old Gal’s Simple Guacamole to go along with your Taco Bowls.

 

Rinse the White/Jasmine Rice RSVP Stainless Steel Steamer Basket

Rinse the White/Jasmine Rice

It is always important to wash your rice until the water runs clear. A Japanese Rice Washer or a Salbree Steamer Basket (which doubles as a rice washer) is perfect to use.

Jasmine Rice is my most used Rice, next to Brown Rice.

Set the Rice aside, until you are ready to dump it into your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker.

 

Heat Pressure Cooker, Add Oil and Onions

Do I have to Sauté the Veggies?

  • No. Pressure Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls can be made dump and push or you can choose to saute the veggies. Your choice.
  • If you are going to sauté the veggie, make sure you fully heat your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker cooking pot, so that the stainless steel cooking pot becomes non-stick.
  • The photos and narrative go through the sautéing process, but the recipe card below is for the dump and push start method.

A good high heat spatula works well, so that the tip does not discolor or burn.

 

Add Red Peppers and Sauté

Add Red Peppers and Sauté

Red peppers give a sweeter flavor than green peppers. Orange and yellow are nice to use as well.

Green peppers are stronger, but if you like a stronger spice, those are find to use as well.

 

Add Broth and Deglaze Pot

Add Broth and Deglaze Pot

If you don’t have your own Homemade Chicken Broth, try using Better than Bouillon Chicken Base mixed with fresh water instead.

We keep a jar in the fridge at all times.

 

Add in the Beans, Seasonings, Corn and Rice Mexican Fiesta Bowl

Add in the Beans, Seasonings, Corn and Rice

A Packet of Seasoning or my homemade Taco Seasoning both work well here.

I suggest making up several batches of my taco seasoning and storing it in an air tight jar. There are always so many uses for taco seasoning.

and use that instead.

If you want to give your Pressure Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowls a flavor boost, add in a couple shakes of True Lime Garlic Cilantro. I keep bottles of the this set of True Lime Shakers (lemon pepper, lime garlic, cilantro and orange ginger) in my pantry at all times. These are fabulous seasonings and taste like the citrus was just plucked from the tree.

 

Pour in the Salsa or Canned Rotel and Diced Tomatoes Burrito Bowls

Pour in the Salsa or Canned Rotel and Diced Tomatoes

You can make this dish as seasoned or not seasoned as you like.

The Rotel Mexican Diced Tomatoes will add more lime and spices. If you prefer, use Jarred Salsa instead.

That’s it and it is ready to be cooked.

Remember, if you are in a hurry and do not want to make your own Salsa, skip the Sautéing of the Onions and Fresh Garlic.

Instead, just add the Red Peppers, Chicken and Chicken Stock into the Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker and then the rest of the ingredients.

Garnish with whatever you like.

Grated Cheese, Sour Cream or Homemade Greek Yogurt, Fresh Cilantro, Fresh Diced Tomatoes and a wedge of Lime.

This makes a great filling for Burritos and Tacos.

 

Make a Tostada Bowl!

How about a Mexican Chicken Tostada Bowl? Turn any regular Flour Tortilla into a Crunchy Tostada Bowl by buying one of these Tostada Bowl Makers.

You can even make your own Tortillas with my easy Yogurt Whey Indian Chapati / Roti (Flatbread) recipe!
