  • Secure the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to "Sealing." Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" setting on high pressure for 8 minutes.
  • Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
  • Open the lid once the pin drops, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite Mexican dishes.
