A while back, I posted an Instant Pot Chicken Taco Bowl recipe. Big hit and a family favorite! Fast forward to now and I now have a burrito version. Basically the same thing, but a few added/eliminated ingredients adding a variety to the original.
Tacos and burritos are two completely different things, so these recipes have enough changes to them where you could make both in a week and feel like its something different and new!
The thing I like most about these burrito bowls are the variety. My kids don’t like a lot of toppings, so they simply omit their dislikes. They LOVE avocado, so they add double. Both my hubby and I prefer a loaded burrito, so we go crazy on our bowls. Everyone ends up happy because they can create their favorite version!
Since this is an all in one meal, within minutes, I can have dinner on the table and cleanup simple using only one pot….which is also dishwasher safe! I use a non stick Instant Pot liner and I swear by it. Nothing sticks anymore, which is great for those recipes where the “burn” notice appears!! Check the link out for that in the recipe card below!
Family approved, budget friendly, and a great meal option when pressed for time! Serve when having company over as it makes plenty and is very versatile!
Another great option is to freeze the leftovers and pull out when needed! That way, you can enjoy the meal now…but also enjoy it at a later date!
Instant Pot Chicken Burrito Bowls come together in no time using an Instant Pot! Add your favorite toppings and make it your own! Be sure to print the recipe below to give it a try!

What kind of peppers bell or jalapeños?
Kristin says
1 green bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper, and if you want to add jalapenos as a topping, its quite tasty!
Mel says
How can I sub in frozen chicken thighs?
Kristin says
If frozen, I would add a few extra minutes to the cook time. Not much though as thighs cook faster than breasts due to the bone. Start with adding about 3-4 minutes and then once cooked, shred the chicken, removing from the bone!
Yvette says
What kind of long grain rice did you use?
Kristin says
I use white long grain rice, but I have also used jasmine rice in this recipe and it turns out great!
Sara Lu Hooper says
Sounds delish but would like to eliminate ride. How much broth would I eliminate? Thank you!!
Kristin says
I would probably eliminate about 1 cup of broth. You can probably go up to 1 1/2 cups less, but start with 1 cup and see what you think!
