Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls

Once school starts, our lives get busy...very busy.
Back to School also means the start of the soccer season and this year all 3 kids are playing soccer.
3 kids with 2 soccer practices each means 6 soccer practices a week. 
Kevin is coaching Luke's team and I am coaching Claire's team so that just adds to the chaos.
Meal planning is a MUST for me since this time of year is so crazy. 
All 3 kids have soccer practice on Thursdays from 5-6, so it's so important that on those days I have dinner ready to go as soon as we get home. 
Because of this, I use my Instant Pot on most Thursdays.
I dump all the ingredients in & turn it on before we leave for soccer practice and when we get home, dinner is ready! 
Because the weather is still warm for us in August/September, I'm not into my Fall cooking mode of soups & casseroles just yet. A month or so ago, I created this Burrito Bowl recipe and it's a hit! I knew I had to share it with you guys!
Here is what you need:
 - One 2.5 lb bag of frozen chicken tenderloins
-1/2 bag of frozen Bell Peppers/Onions (I love the fire roasted from Trader Joe's)
- 1/2 bag of frozen corn (I love the Trader Joe's roasted corn!)
- 1 can of black beans, drained
- 1 can of diced green chilies
- 1 (12 oz) jar of chunky Salsa)
- 1 packet of Taco Seasoning
- Lime Juice 

Directions:
Dump everything into your Instant Pot:
 Then I add a few squirts of lime juice to the top and give the mixture a big stir:
Then put the lid on your Instant Pot turn the knob to SEALING:
Cook for 12 minutes on manual high pressure:
 After it's done cooking, let it naturally release pressure for 10-15 minutes. Then when you take off the lid, it will look like this:
 I always check a piece of chicken to make sure it's cooked because I'm a freak show about making sure food is cooked. LOL.
 The chicken is cooked & falling apart! 

If you don't have an Instant Pot yet....what are you waiting for?!?!?!
You could make this in your Crock Pot...dump everything in and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 4 hours.

There will be a lot of liquid in the Pot from the chicken & peppers, so get a strainer and strain it in your sink:
 I let it strain for a couple minutes & then I put the mixture into a serving dish.
 Now it's time to make your Burrito Bowls! When we make these, I use either Brown Rice or Quinoa. Use whatever you like. I am obsessed with these from Trader Joe's:
 You can find them in the freezer section and each box has 3 packets (each packet has 3 servings) You heat them up in the microwave for 3 minutes. Easy & quick!
(They also have white rice if you prefer that)
After your rice or quinoa is done, it's time to pretend you are at Chipotle and make your Burrito Bowl!
On the bottom, I add rice & the chicken mixture:
 Then I add guacamole (or you could add fresh avocado), sour cream & fresh salsa:
 I sprinkle on shredded cheese & some fresh cilantro:
 I also like to add shredded lettuce. It makes it taste fresh & I love the crunch of the lettuce.
 You could even add some crushed up tortilla strips. Or, you can make it an actual burrito and serve this in tortillas.
I hope you love this meal as much as we do. 
It's easy, quick & healthy! 
Enjoy!

  4. I made these for dinner tonight (had to make mine in the crockpot) and they didn’t look as pretty as yours, but were delicious!
    I think this was the third or fourth recipe of yours that I have made, and they’ve all been a hit, so thank you!!
    I love that you lay out all the ingredients and post the photos of them as well!

  6. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542

    He is also able to cast spell like 1: Lottery 2: Conceive 3: Breakup 4: Divorce 5: Cure for all kinds of diseases and viruses.

  7. I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want..
