Step 1

Select SAUTÉ/Normal on the Instant Pot. When the pot is hot, add the ground beef and onions and break up as much as you can. Cook for 3-5 minutes. Add ¼ cup of water and deglaze thoroughly, allowing the water to evaporate.

Step 2

Add taco seasoning, salt, and rice and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Add 1 cup water. Scatter the tomatoes, peppers, and kidney beans on top of the rice and meat mixture. Do not stir.

Step 4

Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve. Select MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK and set the pot at HIGH pressure for 4 minutes.

Step 5

When cook time is complete, let pot release pressure naturally for 10 minutes. At the end of the cooking time, use a quick release to depressurize.

Step 6

Stir and serve.
