Notes
Stove Top Instructions
This recipe can be made on the stovetop. To do so, cook the rice, peppers, onion, and chili powder in 2 cups of broth. Bring the rice mixture to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat for 40 minutes. Then once the rice is done, drain the beans, and stir them into the cooked rice. Proceed with step 3.
Substitutions
This is a versatile recipe, so if onions aren’t your thing you can just use one and if you want to amp up the flavor even more go for 1 tablespoon or more of chili powder.
Instant Pot Tips
At the end of the cook time allow the pressure to release naturally, which can take about 10 – 40 minutes. Make sure the silver float valve in the lid has gone down before you remove the lid.
