Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef or turkey
  • 1 Tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup long grain white rice or jasmine rice
  • 1 (10 oz) can mild enchilada sauce
  • 1 (15 oz) can chili beans (pinto beans in tomatoes and seasoning, also called ranch style beans)
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 1/4 cups Fritos chips
  • 5 Tbsp diced green onions
  • 5 Tbsp sour cream
  • 5 Tbsp diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting. When the display says HOT add in the ground beef/turkey and break it up. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Add in the diced onion. Brown the meat for about 4-5 minutes. If there is excess grease, drain it off. Turn off the Instant Pot.
  2. Stir in the water and scrape the bottom of the pot to make sure nothing is sticking. Sprinkle in the rice. Pour the enchilada sauce over the rice, then dump the beans on top. Don’t stir.
  3. Cover the Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure the valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When the time is up move the valve to venting. Remove the lid. 
  4. Stir in the cheddar cheese. Ladle into 5 bowls and top each bowl with ¼ cup Fritos, 1 Tbsp green onions, 1 Tbsp sour cream and 1 Tbsp diced tomatoes. Enjoy!
