Burrito Bowls

  • 1-2 lbs shredded chicken or cooked ground turkey I usually use canned chicken
  • 2 Cups white rice
  • 2 14 oz cans chicken broth If you use the cartons, measure 2 cups
  • 3 Tablespoons dehydrated onion or 1 Tablespoon onion powder

  • 2 14 oz can black beans

Instructions
 

Make the Sauce

  • In a small bowl, add ½ cup of sour cream, 2 tablespoons chipotle sauce, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons of lime juice. Stir to combine and set aside.

Make the Burrito Bowls

  • If you need to cook or shred your meat, do so in this step. Drain and rinse the black beans and drain the corn. Set each aside.
  • Rinse 2 cups of white rice and place them in the instant pot. Add the chicken stock, onion, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and chicken to the instant pot. If you have leftover adobo sauce/chipotle chilis, add them to the pot. Secure the lid, close the pressure release valve, and use the manual function to cook it on high pressure for 8 minutes. When it is finished, do a quick release.
  • Fluff the rice to stir in the ingredients and serve with cilantro, colby jack cheese, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges.
