Instant Pot Speedy Mexican Rice

This is a spin off the recipe back in April 2018 using the instant pot.  The recipe stays pretty close to the same but the rice to broth ratio is adjusted to account for using regular rice and not instant minute rice this time.  It took a couple tries because I didn't have enough broth the first time.  If at first you don't succeed... make more rice.  :)

Here's the lineup:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin (I used half this amount)
1 teaspoon salt
8 oz can tomato sauce (no salt added because we are adding salt separately)
2 cans chicken broth
2 cups long grain white rice

                                    Start by warming up the oil, garlic powder, cumin and salt

Add the tomato sauce, chicken broth and rice

I cooked it in the Instant Pot "rice" using the setting for 10 minutes.  

This recipe is a winner.  Hope you have a great day.  

Pinwheels - Take 2

and BOOM! Another opportunity presented itself to use the second pizza dough that I had in the fridge using leftover fully cooked shredded beef.  These were really good too.  I followed the same directions and baking instructions as the Sausage Pizza Pinwheels from July 31, 2021 and just played with the stuffing. 

Let's Get Crafty!

This time we did leftover fully cooked shredded beef that was cooked in taco type seasonings, cheddar cheese and diced green chiles (after using a paper towel to drain off as much of the extra liquid as possible.)

All ready to be rolled up

Heading in the oven

The blue string is what I used to "cut" the pinwheels.  I had to go slower for it to slice through this and used a new string every couple slices.  The same string worked the whole time for the Pizza Sausage Pinwheels.

Hot out of the oven

I love it when the cheese falls through and gets all crispy and delicious!

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you are having a great day.
