5-Minute Vegan Mexican Rice in the Instant Pot

Tweet

Since the creation of the Instant Pot I have been out on a mission to recreate my favorite Mexican staples in it. I have tried rice pudding and tamales and I was shocked at how well the Instant Pot delivered on childhood favorites. This time I made this Vegan Mexican Rice and it turned out not only delicious but in a matter of minutes I had a warm and freshly made side to a meal I served my family.

What does Vegan Mexican Rice include?

The recipe is simple. This rice contains sauteed onions, rice and tomato sauce. For this recipe I opted to make my own tomato sauce with 2 cups of diced tomatoes simmered and then blended in my Ninja Cup with some salt and garlic. You don’t have to make your own sauce though. Now a days tomato sauce is readily available at your grocery store. So the tomato sauce depends on personal preference. Let’s begin shall we?
