Ingredients

• A dash of olive oil
• Finely chopped green bell pepper
• Finely chopped red bell pepper
• Diced onion
• A generous portion of vegetarian ground beef alternative
• A can of diced tomatoes
• A can of tomato sauce
• A sprinkle of taco seasoning mix
• A hint of vegetable broth
• White rice
• Mexican cheese blend for garnishing (if desired)
• Sour cream for topping (if desired)
• Sliced black olives for garnishing (if desired)
• Diced avocado for topping (if desired)

Step 1

To create a delicious meal, start by activating a versatile pressure cooker (like Instant Pot®) and opt for the Saute function. Once the oil is heated up, toss in some vibrant bell peppers and onions. Saute them until they turn tender, which should take around 5 minutes. Now, introduce your choice of beef alternative and crumble it into the mix. Continue cooking and stirring until it gains a lovely brown color, usually between 5 to 7 minutes. Next, blend in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and your favorite taco seasoning until the flavors meld.

Step 2

Now, it's time to add a delightful twist. Pour in some chicken broth and rice into the pot before hitting Cancel. Seal the lid securely in its place. Following the manufacturer's guidelines, opt for high pressure and set the timer for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to build up for another 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3

When the time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method as per the manufacturer's instructions, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Unlock the lid and unveil a steaming pot of goodness. Serve this delightful dish immediately, garnishing it with toppings like zesty Mexican cheese, creamy sour cream, flavorful black olives, and creamy avocado. Enjoy the burst of flavors and textures this dish brings to your table!
