Instant Pot Chipotle Rice

This rice is always a winner for me. I love that this Instant Pot Chipotle rice is easy to make, and perfect any time.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Course: Instant Pot
Cuisine: Side

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed or store bought lime juice

Instructions
 

  1. In your Instant Pot, add in 2 cups of white rice, bay leaf, and water.
  2. Select “Rice” on your Instant Pot. Make sure your lid is locked, and sealing valve is closed.
  3. When the time has completed, allow it to naturally release.
  4. Once natural release is finished, open the lid on your Instant Pot. Remove bay leaf, add in your cilantro, and lime juice. Mix. You can also add in a pinch of salt, if you wish.

Notes

  • Rinsing your rice before cooking will leave you with less sticky rice.
  • Toasting the rice in a skillet with a small amount of butter until lightly brown will give a deeper level of flavor. 
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or diced green onions.
