Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup salsa of choice
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in Instant Pot liner and stir. 
  • Close lid and make sure valve is set to sealing. Set to either manual 8 minutes on high or the rice function button (low 12 min). 
  • To release pressure, you may manually release if you are short on time. You may end up with a wetter grain, but it's still good. If you have time to kill, you may allow it to naturally release pressure on its own. 
  • After pressure is released, remove lid and fluff with a fork. Serve hot.
