Slow Cooker or Instant Pot

Burrito Bowls

Yields 5 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound 96% ground beef or cubed steak (cooked through)*

  • 1 jar (16oz) your favorite chunky salsa

  • 2.5 cups bone broth or low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 can (15.5oz) pinto beans (rinsed and drained)*

  • 2 cups instant rice

  • 1 packet taco seasoning

  • 1/3 cup onion (diced)

Delicious topping options:

  • Greek yogurt, red or green onion, cilantro, cheese, crushed tortilla chips, and/or avocado

Instructions:

Brown ground beef (or preferred protein) and drain the excess fat.

SLOW COOKER: Add all ingredients into the slow cooker, give it a stir, and cook on high for 3 hours or low for 6 hours.

INSTANT POT: Add all ingredients into the Instant Pot, give it a stir, and seal the top valve. Cook on HIGH pressure for 10 minutes, then natural release for 3-4 minutes. This method will come out a little runnier, but the meal will thicken up as it cools.

Storage: Refrigerate and reheat up to five days.
