Burrito Bowl

This burrito recipe has become one of our weekday staple meals as it's so quick and easy to make.

Loving our instant pot

Years ago when we moved into our current house we were given a slow cooker. For years afterwards we made lots of use of it, often setting it up on a Sunday night to cook Monday while we were at work. generally we'd make a batch which would be enough for two nights. It made cooking at the beginning of the week a sinch and created some really good meals. Also nothing lasts forever and our trust slow cooker bowl cracked and was no more.

Now Lou had the excuse she needed to go shopping, for a while she had been looking at instant pots. An all in one slow cooker, rice steam and pressure cooker. I wasn't convinced and would have been quite happy with another slow cooker. So when she came home with a Pressure King multi cooker, I still wasn't sure that we needed it.

However I've really got into it and find it great, even for silly things like rice and pasta, which it cooks quickly with no worry of boiling over. So since I now have decided that our instant pot is great, I have been looking for different recipes, this burrito bowl is a favourite.

The recipe can of course be made on the stove, the timings and method would need to be altered to suit. If you are lucky enough to be using a multi cooker, the recipe is all done in the pot so only one pan to wash. While the recipe isn't quite put all the ingredients in and cook it's not far off. The one bit you'll need to be wary of is adding the rice, to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan and burn, make sure it sits on top of the rest of the ingredients.
