Instant Pot Beef Burritos Recipes

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.

PRESSURE-COOKER BEEF BURRITOS WITH GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Drain chiles, reserving liquid. Coarsely chop chiles; place in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Add tomatoes, onion and reserved drained liquid. Cut roast in half. Combine garlic, salt, cumin and cayenne; rub over roast. Place in pressure cooker. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 80 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. A thermometer inserted in beef should read at least 165°., Remove roast; shred with 2 forks. Return to pressure cooker; heat through. Using a slotted spoon, serve in tortillas with toppings if desired., Freeze option: Freeze cooled meat mixture and juices in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally; add water if necessary.

INSTANT POT CHILI BEEF BURRITOS

Steps:

• Put beef, chicken broth, enchilada sauce, bouillon cubes, onion, green chiles, chipotle pepper sauce, cumin, oregano, and salt and pepper into Instant Pot.
• Lock the lid in place and turn the knob to sealing, not venting. Press the Manual or Pressure Cook button and set for 25 minutes.
• When it is done cooking, natural release and then carefully remove the lid. The beef will be very tender and flake when stirred.
• Turn oven on broil.
• On an oven-proof plate or baking pan, lay out a tortilla. Place about 1/2 cup of the meat (drained by using a slotted spoon) on the tortilla. Add a spoonful or two of beans. Roll into a burrito.
• Pour some of the remaining sauce from the Instant Pot over the burritos to cover them and top with cheese.
• Broil until cheese is bubbly, about 2-4 minutes.
• Makes 6-8 burritos, depending on how full you make them.
