29Hey ya’ll, I have fallen in love with my Instant Pot and how quick and easy it makes things! Here is my version of an Easy Mexican Rice recipe! Don’t fear if you don’t have an IP. It’s the same on the stove just cook a little longer! I will give ya directions for that too!

You guys know I love quick and easy and this one is easy enough to make for Taco Tuesday every week! It’s tasty and uses things I always have in my pantry and fridge. Well, if you are like me and keep salsa around like mayo 😉
Just plug in that IP put it on saute or grab a skillet and put 1 teaspoon of olive oil in (medium heat for the skillet) with your diced onion until cook until translucent.
Add in the rice and let if jive in there about 2 to 3 minutes (while stirring it around), then add in chicken stock, salsa and salt. You have it ready to cook. Put IP lid on and lock. Set for manual high pressure for 10 minutes! For stove top – add about 1/4 cup more of broth or water, put on lid and reduce heat to med-low and cook on stove top for 20 to 25 minutes until tender.
Fluff it up with a fork and serve. Yup it’s that easy! I ain’t kidding y’all! Enjoy!
It’s wonderful with these Creamy Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas and these Smokey Charro Beans!
Come join in all the fun and let’s be social!

My instant pot is the first “gadget” I have bought in a long time that is worth its weight in gold! They are so versatile!
I agree 🙂 LOVE IT!! Hope you have a wonderful week Constance!!
Yum! Such a great use of the instant pot. I would love to try this rice with those enchiladas!
Thank you Tara! I love how easy they both are!! I’d love how it goes if you make them!
I’m starting to feel like I need an instant pot… great recipe! Love how easy and flavorful it is.
Thank you Liz! I felt the same way until not too long ago. I finally purchased one and love it! Still want to experiment and make more recipes.
I love Mexican rice but can’t quite make it right. Can’t wait to try this. Don’t you just love that Instant Pot?!
I love it too! This is such an easy version but love it! I hope you do too! I am so glad I finally bought one! It’s been fun creating recipes and cooking things so quickly! I want to try cheesecake soon!
Love that this cooks in the instant pot – I need to try this! I have a pressure cooker at home but pretty much never use it. Also love that this recipe uses salsa – brilliant way to add in a whole depth of flavor!
Thank you Vicky! I love the flavor the salsa gives and makes it super easy! I am fairly new to IP and trying a few things out. This one was a win with my family.
I love rice in all its forms but I never tried preparing it like that ! Thanks for sharing this, it looks really easy. I’ll give it a try as soon as possible 🙂

Oh, wow..rice cooked with salsa looks so tempting and delicious. Thanx for sharing.
Thank you! The salsa gives it a lot of flavor!
I absolutely love rice dishes, this sounds so delicious!
Thank you!
I think I’m the only person on the planet that doesn’t have an instant pot! I’m sure I could manage this rice on the stovetop though! Love the salsa in it! That’s a genius shortcut!
I haven’t had mine very long. I felt the same way. I have loved experimenting with things I already make in other ways.
