Instant Pot Burritos Food

INSTANT POT BURRITOS

Steps:

• Soak the rice in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes, then rinse under running water 3-4 times until the water runs clear. Set aside in a sieve.
• Turn the Instant Pot on and press the Saute button. Once the pot is hot, add the olive oil, onions and peppers and cook for 2 minutes, stirring a few times.
• Add the beef and break it apart with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until desaturated in colour, stirring a few times. Add the spices and salt and stir through. Make sure not to burn the beef. Press Cancel to stop the Saute function.
• Finally, add the rice, tomato passata or crushed tomatoes, sweet corn and water. Stir well, making sure you scrape any stuck on bits from the bottom to prevent a Burn notice. Pop the lid on top and lock. Set to Manual/Pressure Cook for 5 minutes. The pressure will take about 5 minutes to build up and the timer will start. Once it's done, quick-release the pressure manually as soon as possible.
• While burrito filling is cooking, prepare other ingredients: grated cheese, scallions and cilantro. We like to make simple lettuce, tomato and avocado salad as a side dish.
• Warm large tortillas in the oven or the microwave. Place on a cutting board and fill each tortilla with a teaspoon of barbecue sauce, about a cup of burrito filling, a few tablespoons of grated cheese and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and onions. Make sure to place these in the middle. Fold the sides of the tortilla and then wrap it upwards tightly.
• Serve as they are or pan-fry for 1-2 minutes on each side over medium-high heat for that crispy finish and melted cheese.

INSTANT POT® BEEF BURRITOS

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function; if available, select "more" option. Add ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir beef until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 3 minutes more. Add olive oil and rice. Cook and stir until some grains start to turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in beans, tomatoes, broth, and taco seasoning.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 7 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Fluff burrito bowl filling with a fork and add cilantro.
• Serve filling in tortillas with Mexican cheese blend. Garnish with fresh tomatoes, avocado, sour cream, and green onions.

INSTANT POT MEAL PREP BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
• Spray 3 silicone ice cube stick molds with four 2 1/2-ounce cavities with nonstick spray.
• Add the bacon and Cheddar to one of the prepared molds, dividing the ingredients evenly among the 4 cavities. Add the chorizo, bell pepper and red onion to the second prepared mold, dividing the ingredients evenly among the 4 cavities.
• Whisk together the whole eggs, 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large liquid measuring cup. Pour the egg mixture over the filling in the 2 molds, dividing it evenly among the 8 cavities.
• Add the spinach and Parmesan to the third prepared mold, dividing the ingredients evenly among the 4 cavities. Whisk together the egg whites, remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large liquid measuring cup. Pour the egg mixture over the filling, dividing it evenly among the 4 cavities.
• Cut three 5 1/2-by-8 1/2-inch pieces of aluminum foil and spray one side with nonstick spray. Cover each mold with a piece of foil sprayed-side down.
• Add 1 1/4 cups water to a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Stack the covered molds on top of each other--in alternating directions--on top of the steamer rack and carefully transfer the rack and molds to the pot using the handles. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 35 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for natural release. After 15 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
• Let the eggs cool slightly before inverting onto a work surface. Roll each egg tube in a tortilla, wrap in aluminum foil and label. Transfer the wrapped burritos to 2 gallon-size resealable freezer plastic bags (6 in each) and seal. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• To reheat, unwrap the burrito, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave, rotating halfway through, until warm, about 4 minutes. Serve with your favorite topping--hot sauce, salsa or ketchup.

INSTANT POT® MAKE-AHEAD BREAKFAST BURRITOS

Steps:

• Spray ice cube trays with nonstick cooking spray. Divide bacon, Cheddar cheese, bell pepper, and green onions among the molds.
• Whisk eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper together in a measuring glass with a pour spout. Slowly pour egg mixture into the molds until they are full but not overflowing. Spray foil sheets with cooking spray and seal each mold individually.
• Pour 1 1/4 cups water into the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and place a trivet inside. Carefully stack all 3 molds on top of the trivet.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer molds to a clean work surface, remove foil, and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Turn molds over to release the cooked filling. Place one in the center of each flour tortilla and roll into burritos. Let burritos cool. Wrap in parchment paper, place in a large resealable plastic bag, and freeze.
