Instant Pot Beef Burrito Bowl Recipe

Jump to Recipe

One of the easiest and most flavorful recipes that we make is our Instant Pot Beef Burrito Bowl recipe.

In fact, the family requests this dinner at least once a week.

Add the toppings of your choice, or none at all. It’s up to you!

It has become such a hit that I now make it on Sunday along with our Air Fryer Whole Chicken recipe, when we are meal prepping for the week.

We use it for lunches or a quick dinner meal throughout the week.

And to be honest, when I am in a hurry, I grab a bowl of it and eat it for breakfast too!

Beef Burrito Bowl Ingredients

This recipe begins with browning ground beef in the liner of the Instant Pot.

saute onions
Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pot after browning your beef and onions.

We have made this recipe in both our 3 quart and 6 quart Instant Pots.

However, no matter which pot we make it in, we prefer to drain the ground beef after it is cooked. You don’t have to but I like to drain the extra fat before adding in the other ingredients.

And if I am really lucky, I will have a pound of already cooked ground beef in my freezer that I can dump right in!

I love to cook a large batch of ground beef in my Instant Pot and freeze them in one pound portions. It is such a time saver for weeknight meals!

But you can also add ground chicken or 2 chicken breasts to this recipe if you prefer Chicken Burrito Bowls.

frozen corn
Use either 1 cup of frozen corn or a can of corn, drained.

Add in some diced onion, taco seasoning, black beans, corn and salsa and your meal is almost ready!

What Rice To Use For The Burrito Bowl

I have tried this recipe using long grain white rice, Jasmine rice, and brown Basmati rice.

Although I love making Instant Pot White Rice, I have found that it isn’t the best rice to use for this recipe.

White rice requires such a short cook time. Therefore, this doesn’t allow the burrito bowl ingredients enough time to meld together as well as when cooking for a longer period of time.

15 minutes
Brown rice and jasmine rice cook perfectly with the 15 minutes of cook time required.

Instead, we prefer to use either brown Basmati rice or Jasmine rice. The rice holds up well and the entire dish tastes perfect!

Add The Toppings of Your Choice

Once the Instant Pot Beef Burrito Bowl is cooked, it is time to customize your meal.

Add in shredded cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes or avocado for a deluxe meal.

Once the mixture has cooked, stir to combine.

Or if you prefer, serve it with tortilla chips. The chips can become your utensil for an easy to eat meal.

And don’t forget, this recipe can also act as a filling for burritos. Scoop a few spoonfuls on a tortilla and roll it up.

There are so many ways to enjoy this recipe! That is why it is everyone’s favorite.
