Instant Pot Burrito Bowls Recipe

Instant Pot Burrito Bowls Recipe – Quick and easy, healthy and cheesy burrito bowls prepared in the Instant Pot! Get ready for a fantastic lightened up meal that the whole family will love.

A delicious, protein packed Instant Pot Burrito Bowls dinner that’s perfect for those busy weeknights or Sunday get togethers! All you need is your instant pot and about 30 minutes, from start to finish. This is also a great recipe for those that are just beginning to use their Instant Pot because you just layer all your ingredients in the pot and let the IP do its thing.

When I first tried to make those Instant Pot Beef Burritos, it took me about 4 tries to finally get it right. However, what’s great about those 3 failed attempts is that I actually learned from my mistakes! ME! I can do that. Learn from my mistakes… what a profound conscious discovery… 😆

Anywho. What I’m trying to get to is that this recipe took only 1 try to get it right. Woohooo! You don’t even know what that means to a person that tries to develop recipes, and how it affects (positively or negatively) their groceries-budget. 😃

Unlike my beef burritos, for this recipe I used lean ground turkey, and kept the rest of the recipe relatively the same.

HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT BURRITO BOWLS

1. We will first sauté our onions and garlic inside the Instant Pot before sprinkling it all with my Homemade Fajitas Seasoning.
2. We’re then going to add in some chicken broth, ground turkey, corn, beans, salsa, and rice.
3. Next, we will set the pressure manually on HIGH for 7 minutes.
4. When done, you will want to stir everything together and then transfer the prepared burrito filling inside your bowls.
5. Finally, top the burrito bowls with shredded cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados.
6. Dig in.

The Instant Pot Burrito Bowls Recipe makes a lot of food which is perfect for those that like to prepare their weekly meals ahead. All leftovers can be stored in airtight containers and kept in the fridge for an entire week.
