Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowls are sure to hit the spot when you’re craving something hearty but healthy Mexican food!  

Instant Pot Chicken Taco Rice Bowls

It’s official – the Instant Pot makes dinner SO much easier!  I’m a little obsessed with it right now.  Not only does it make dinner fast, but it can make these entire Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowls in one pot!

I suppose it’s a logical time to get into something like the Instant Pot.  It’s perfect for comfort food, which we all start craving in the fall, and it’s great for quick weeknight dinners, which are necessary during the school year.

Instant Pot Chicken Taco Rice Bowls

I hope you don’t mind my new obsession because I have a TON more Instant Pot recipes coming up for ya in the next few weeks (maybe even months!? Who knows when I’ll stop!).

I made these Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowls the other day on Lars’ first day of preschool.  I wanted something easy for lunch and needed it ready when I got home from picking him up.   This recipe is truly one of those that you dump everything in, hit ‘start’, and let the pressure cooker do all of the work for you.

These Instant Pot Chicken Taco Rice Bowls hit the spot! It’s no secret that I love my bowl meals, and this is absolutely a new favorite of ours.  Both of the boys gobbled these up!

Ingredients in Chicken Taco Bowls

Chicken Breasts

Taco Seasoning

Brown Rice

Salsa

Chicken Broth

Black Beans

Corn

You can definitely make these as mild or spicy as you like.  I kept ours as mild as possible, so they were kid-friendly, but you can use spicy taco seasoning, spicy chiles, and spicy salsa if you like your food to have a kick.

Toppings for Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowls

For toppings, we had ours with shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado the first time.  When we had leftovers I added a dollop of plain Greek yogurt which was delicious as well!  I think green onions, hot sauce, guacamole, and pico de gallo would also be amazing.  You can choose whatever sounds best to you!
