Mexican Brown Rice Bowl (and Burritos!)

Mexican Rice Bowl and Burritos
Ever since electric pressure cookers came into my life I’m always on the lookout for the simple “dump and forget” recipes where you can chuck everything in at once, switch it on and go about your business – knowing that you can come back to a meal that has not only been cooked perfectly but has been kept warm for you until you’re ready . This is one of those recipes – mainly pantry ingredients you can always have on hand so this can be a weeknight life saver!!

One pot pressure cooker dish which magically transforms into a burrito or wrap filling on day two! Soupy and sumptuous on day one but rice keeps absorbing stock so is much thicker next day for filling burritos.
