Instructions

Set Instant Pot to Sauté (High). Add vegetable oil and rice. Stir and toast rice until lightly golden and fragrant.

Stir in chicken broth, tomato sauce, kosher salt, and garlic powder.

Secure lid and set valve to Sealing. Cook on Low Pressure for 12 minutes.

Perform a Quick Pressure Release once done.

Fluff rice gently with a fork.

Optional: Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice and sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Toasting the rice adds deep flavor and prevents mushiness.

For extra flavor, sauté a little onion with the rice before pressure cooking.

Great base for burrito bowls, taco nights, or as a side to grilled meats.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days and reheat with a splash of broth.
