Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions:
- Turn Instant Pot to saute setting. When display says HOT add in the beef and break it up. Brown for 5 minutes. Drain off excess grease. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
- Pour in the broth and scrape bottom of pot so that nothing is sticking. Turn off Instant Pot.
- Sprinkle in the rice. Dump in the enchilada sauce and pinto beans. Don’t stir.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 5 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid.
- Stir in the cheese.
- Serve as a dip with tortilla chips or lay out a flour tortilla and scoop 1/3 cup of the filling into the middle of the tortilla and roll it up like a burrito. A dollop of sour cream tastes good with these beef mixture.
Slow Cooker Instructions:
- Brown the beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease.
- Transfer beef to the slow cooker and stir in the spices (cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika).
- Add the broth, rice, enchilada sauce, and pinto beans. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the rice is tender.
- Stir in the cheese just before serving.
- Serve as a dip with chips or wrap it in tortillas for easy burritos!
