Best Mexican Instant Pot Recipes

Best Mexican Instant Pot Recipes – because nothing beats the Mexican food, done quick and good!

One of my goals here at Digital Mom Blog is to bring parents hacks that help make parenting easy – and if it includes technology, yay! The Instant Pot has quickly become my favorite kitchen technology gadget. It has made meal prep and cooking for our family so much easier. After purchasing the Instant Pot last year, I was on a mission to find recipes that were quick and yummy. We have 4 kids and 6 mouths to feed. Between work and the kids’ busy schedules – we need our meals done quick and easy. The Instant Pot has done just that.

We live in Texas and Mexican food is a staple here! We typically eat some type of Tex-Mex at least three times a week. So naturally, when I went looking for what to cook – I want to find the best Mexican Instant Pot recipes. I found SEVERAL that we regularly use.  

BONUS: The Instant Pot is really easy to use. I’ve taught both our 14-year-old and 11-year-old how to cook with it!

Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice

A meal that is a family fave is burrito bowls. We use this Cilantro Lime Rice recipe for the base of the bowl. Then we make a Mexican buffet of either shredded chicken or ground beef as the meat. We then put shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa and either black beans or pinto beans and let the kids make their own meal.

This tastes just like Chipotle’s cilantro lime rice! Another way to eat this is with grilled lime chicken. DELISH!

What I love about this Spanish rice recipe is that it’s QUICK. 3 minutes for white rice, 22 minutes for brown rice! That’s right, don’t be afraid to try brown rice when making Spanish rice.

Instant Pot Mexican Pinto Beans and Refried Beans

One of my favorite home cooked meals is pinto beans. Add a Mexican flare and hello! I use to cook my pinto beans in the slow cooker, but have since switch to the electric pressure cooker and the results are the same, delish! 

This post will also show you how to take your Mexican pinto beans and make them refried beans. Eat these as a main dish or as a side dish. Another great thing with beans is that you can freeze them! That’s right, make these Mexican pinto beans into a freezer meal, don’t forget the corn bread!
