Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Release pressure naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely.

Step 2

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. Heat oil in the pressure cooker. Add beef and cook until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Add onion, taco seasoning, 1/4 cup water, and garlic salt; stir to combine.

Step 3

Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 30 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 4

Meanwhile, bring remaining 2 1/2 cups water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add rice and stir for 1 minute. Cover the saucepan tightly with a lid. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 5

Divide rice and beef among 6 reusable containers. Top with equal amounts of black beans, corn, and Cheddar cheese. Cover and refrigerate.
