Continuing with my complete obsession with my Instant Pot I am bringing you a new South West Instant Pot Burritos to try out. This is probably a very easy recipe to follow, and if you are a Tex-Mex type of family you will devour this. It is an Instant Pot South West burritos recipe. Savory meat, Mexican seasonings, rice, beans, and corn, served with your favorite toppings and warm tortillas!
What I love about this Instant Pot South West burritos recipe is

This recipe is easy to whip up, serve it to your family, and watch them walk away feeling stuffed and smiling because the flavors are so scrumptious.
We were having a pretty busy week last week and I just needed something really fast to make because to be honest supper slipped my mind. I don’t know if you ever get that way, but I get busy and then the next thing I know I look at the clock and think what do I make! I try to keep a schedule with meals for the week, but I decided to wing it for the week and that didn’t go well for me. So I raided the pantry, fridge, and freezer and figured I had all the ingredients for these South West Instant Pot Burritos so I whipped them up. They hit the spot perfectly, and dinner was a success. No one knew it was a last minute meal idea, or I had spaced out about the time.

Made this and yum! I used only 1 cup of rice, 1/2 cup of water, plus a tablespoon or two to get the rest of the salsa out of the jar and into the pot. There's liquid in the salsa and tomatoes and I didn't want it to be soupy. I did 6 minutes on high pressure because that's how I usually do rice in there. Will definitely do it as a freezer meal!

I just made this and it seems more like soup. I don’t see how I will fill tortillas with this. Has this happened to anyone else?
