Pressure Cooker Mexican Beef and Rice

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pressure Cooker Mexican Beef and Rice.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious pressure cooker meal, drizzle some olive oil into the bottom of your electric pressure cooker and set it to the Sauté function.

2. Step 2

   Once the oil is hot, toss in the ground beef along with the diced red onion.

3. Step 3

   Sprinkle in the chili powder, salt, and ground cumin, and let everything cook for about five minutes.

4. Step 4

   Stir frequently and break up the beef as it browns, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering aromas.

   Next, pour in the water and chunky salsa, then gently fold in the rinsed long-grain white rice until everything is well combined.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to seal the deal! Close and lock the lid of your pressure cooker, set it to high pressure according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and set the timer for eight minutes.
