Ingredients For Burrito Bowls
- Olive oil. This is a great subtle flavor to saute the onions and ground beef in for the best taste.
- Onion. Use diced yellow onion for the best flavor.
- Ground beef. You can also use ground chicken or ground turkey if you want.
- Taco seasoning. A burrito-inspired dish isn’t complete without your favorite taco seasoning.
- Chicken broth. I like to use chicken broth instead of water to give the dish extra flavor. It’s so good!
- Black beans. Use one can of rinsed and drained black beans.
- Corn. For convenience use canned corn. Make sure to drain it beforehand.
- Salsa. Use your favorite kind of salsa. You can add more of a kick or keep it mild.
- Rice. Brown or Jasmine rice works great with this recipe and the cook time in the instant pot.
- Toppings. The best part about this meal is the tasty toppings you can put on it. I love adding shredded cheese, pico de gallo, avocado, tortilla chips, and sour cream.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make Ahead Recipe. I love making this on a Sunday and putting it in separate containers for lunch all week long.
- Chicken or Ground Beef. I used ground beef to make these burrito bowls but I’ve also used chicken breasts. I use about 1 pound of boneless chicken breasts.
- Burrito Bowl Toppings. Top with your favorite sliced avocado, tomatoes, tortilla chips, and sour cream.
- Saute Function. For extra flavor use the sauté function on the Instant Pot to brown the meat and onions. This adds flavor to the dish and enhances the taste of the bowls. It also makes it a one pot meal!
How To Make Burrito Bowls
- Brown. With the saute button, in the instant pot, brown the ground beef in olive oil. Drain the excess fat.
- Saute. Add in the diced onions and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add. Add in the taco seasoning, and 1 cup of the chicken broth. Stir in the onions and simmer for 1 minute.
- Stir. Stir in the beans, corn, and salsa with the onion mixture. Add the rice on top but do not stir. Top with the remaining chicken broth making sure the rice is covered.
- Seal. Seal the instant pot with the lid. Set the valve to “sealing”. Press the “Pressure Cook” or “Manual” button on high pressure for 15 minutes. When the cooking time is up, carefully do a quick pressure release.
- Assemble. Stir ground beef in with the rice mixture. Serve with shredded cheese, tomatoes, avocado slices, tortilla chips, and sour cream.
What To Serve With Instant Pot Burrito Bowls
These Burrito Bowls are great with a side of refried beans and chips and salsa. It’s a great fun Friday night dinner the whole family will love.
Leftovers & Storing
- Store. If you have any leftover burrito mixture, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Make sure to store the burrito toppings separately from the burrito bowl mixture.
- Reheat leftovers. Reheat the portion you wish to eat in the microwave until warm.

Hi!
Would I be able to double the recipe and use the same cooking time?
This is one of our family favourites and I’d like to make it for camping with a large group.
I just made this for my kiddos to take to work for lunch. It is delicious!! I used ground dark meat turkey and hot salsa the only thing I omitted were the onions because they don’t like them. Still just delicious especially eaten on a chip!
