Instant Pot Mexican Sour Cream Rice
This might be my most favorite side dish ever! Mmmm mmm! This rice is so flavorful. And the best thing about it is that it’s soooo easy to make too. It only has a 3 minute pressure cook time too!
- This rice is perfect served with your grilled meats like steak, chicken or pork chops.
- Another idea is to try serving this wrapped up with beans in a tortilla like a burrito.
- If you have fresh lime on hand try squeezing a little lime on each serving.
- I use mild diced green chiles but if you like food more spicy try using a medium or hot variety.
- You can use canned corn or frozen corn. Keep the same cooking time.
- If you’d like to add chicken into the pot with the rice you can. Cut up the chicken into bite-size pieces. It can be raw chicken or cooked chicken.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or even tripled in your 6 or 8 quart pot. Increase the ingredients and keep the same cooking time.
- Try making this rice with any type of rice that you like. Just use the cooking times chart and the liquid to rice ratios in the green chart below.

Could you use cauliflower rice
I wouldn’t use cauliflower rice in the pressure cooker because it will overcook. You could do it on the stove with cauliflower rice probably!
Yummy!

Thanks for the 5 stars Daniella!
Is this for precooked or raw rice?
I’m trying to wrap my head around the rice directions above but then the cooking directions below….
How does the same amount of rice only take 3 minutes verses 8?
Well I’m doing it as it’s written and it’s unlisted so I’m pouring in raw rice so we shall see….
Yes it’s raw! Hope it worked well for you!
The ingredients failed to mention broth or how much but recipe directions clearly referred to adding broth. So I’m taking guess and going with chicken and about 1 cup or more depending on amount being made. Please clarify.

The first ingredient listed is broth…1 1/2 cups!
Searching high and low for a different side dish for some grilled Mexican chicken, this recipe appeared in my inbox right on time. I had everything on hand, so I went for it, and it was great! Made in my 3 qt. Instant Pot Mini, I made two tiny changes. Used 15 oz. of fresh Olathe, CO super sweet corn (’tis the season after all) and a can of hot diced green chiles, which aren’t all that hot to be honest. Thanks once again, Karen!

Thanks so much for the nice words! I’m glad it worked well for you. Thanks for the 5 stars!
Have you tried subbing Greek yogurt for the sour cream in this recipe?
No, but I bet it would be good!
I am going to try this with carrots. Carrots are sweet like corn but without that GMO. Thanks for ideas that we can modify like adding chicken etc.
Sounds like a good plan 🙂
Looks delicious! What would the time be for brown rice?
Haven’t tried this yet but plan too. There is a chart posted before the recipe for several kinds of rice.
22 minutes with a 10 minute natural pressure release.
Same question: What kind of chicken pieces would you suggest: White meat? Dark/thigh?
How would his change the time for the IP?
I’d use boneless thighs and keep the same cooking time
Hello!
If I wanted to add chicken, would the time change?
Thank you so much for all you do to make our eating easier and yummier!!!
If you’d like to add chicken into the pot with the rice you can. Cut up the chicken into bite-size pieces. It can be raw chicken or cooked chicken. Keep same time.
I had the same slow cooker question. Thank you!
Can this receipe be made in a slow cooker?
I haven’t tried it in the slow cooker. But I bet you could! Try it and put it on high for 2-3 hours or until rice is cooked through.
