Mexican Restaurant Style Rice

 

This is a super subtle addition to any Mexican food night.  It's delicious with tacos, beans, quesadillas, fajitas, and taco salad!

3 Tablespoons olive oil

2 cups long grain white rice

1 medium onion, diced

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 can tomato sauce

1 tsp. taco seasoning

1/2 tsp. cumin

1 tsp. salt

4 cups chicken broth

1 can of corn, drained (or 2 cups frozen corn)

Optional toppings: lime wedges, avocado, cilantro

To your instant pot, add the oil and set to the Saute feature.  Allow the oil to heat.

Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly until it's fragrant and golden brown.

Add the onion and cook until slightly softened.  

Add the chicken broth, garlic powder, tomato sauce, taco seasoning, cumin, corn, and salt.  Stir to combine.  

Place the lid on your instant pot, set the valve to Sealing and process on Manual for 6 minutes.  Once the 6 minutes is done, allow the pot to naturally release for 15 minutes.  

Release the remaining steam and fluff with a fork.  Serve with your favorite Mexican dishes.
