Instant Pot Burritos are filled with seasoned ground beef, rice, black beans, salsa, and Rotel tomatoes. Everything cooks together in the pressure cooker for an easy, flavorful burrito filling that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
This is one of my favorite ways to make a big batch of burrito filling. There’s plenty for dinner, and the leftovers make an easy lunch the next day. Just add your favorite toppings and roll everything into warm tortillas.

When do you add the corn and beans?
Sorry fixed the recipe 🙂
Hi,
I made the burrito recipe and it is delish. And the best part, it was very easy and hardly any mess to clean up. Family was very happy with the burritos.
thank you
How would it change the cook time if you were to use brown rice instead?
I was just wondering the same thing
Can I double this in a 6 qt?
Did you end up doubling in a 6 qt Carlene? I have the same question!
yes you can
This looks good. It looks easy to make and can be adapted to individual taste. Can not wait to try it!
I see no corn in the original recipe. When do you add the water? Do you drain the black beans? What kind of pressure release?
Sorry all fixed I changed the recipe that’s why
so I was skeptical at first because I hadn’t used the Rice setting yet! BUT I am so glad I tried this recipe last night, it was really, really good and easy to put together. The only things I changed was that I didnt use corn and only used 1 cup of rice and I stirred it 🙂
Thank you for sharing!
@JayC,
In making this recipe, it doesn’t say if the beans are to be drained and rinsed and when to add the 3 cups of water to the pot. Can u add this info?
Thank you
I think this recipe would be amazing in a taco bowl(created by making a bowl from a corn or flour tortilla)
Do you use instant rice or regular rice? Also, the recipe doesn’t say if the black beans are supposed to be drained or not? Thanks!
Regular rice
Do you add rice in beginning with freezer meal or remove meal after cooking then cook rice in pot separate
I made this tonight and loved it. I do have a question though – I cooked it from frozen and wondering if I can refreeze all of the left overs now?? If so, how long would I cook it for in the pot once I want to make it a dinner again??
Could this be adapted for a slow cooker?
In the description you mention corn but in the recipe it is not there. How much corn do you add?
2 cups of rice? Is this a misprint. Made it last night for a party and the entire pot was filled to the rim. There is enough mixture for 80 burrittos. No word of a lie. Next time maybe 1 cup of rice if that?
@Mavis Saari, It sounds as though the recipe needs a lot of corrections! With 2 cups of rice one review says it was like soup and you had a pot full of rice. 😊 I’m afraid to try it!
No mistake it’s a large pot no soup

The recipe says 2 c of rice but the freezer recipe says 1 c. I used 1 c and less water it was delicious! I might reduce the rice even more as it’s still a lot of rice for me. Yum.
Made this for dinner last night. Very tasty. Made a lot!! Enough left for another 15 burritos!!
Amazing recipe. Makes much more than 6 burritos though! I have 7 made and I’m only halfway through the stuff! Will definitely halve next time.
Yeah it does make a ton
