Eat the Food You Love for Less
When I was pregnant with H, we ate So . Much . Chipotle. I had pretty intense morning all-day sickness, and it was one of the few things that didn’t make me feel sick. It got to the point that my husband began to make homemade versions of what we were ordering to save money.
That’s my favorite thing about copycat recipes. You get to eat the food you love to order at restaurants for way less money.
Just 4 Simple Steps
I mentioned in my Instant Pot and Sweet Potato Stew post just how easy it is to cook rice in the Instant Pot
To make Pressure Cooker Cilantro Lime Brown Rice, just cook the rice, mix oil, lime and garlic, chop cilantro, and mix it all together! Yep, it’s really that easy.
Stove-Top & Rice Cooker Too
I prefer to make brown rice in my Instant Pot

I’ve never eaten this at Chipotle but it sounds wonderful!
It is a great alternative to plain rice as a side!
Perfect! Love the pot, love the rice. Now I can make it too! Thank you for sharing it at TADA! Thursdays

If I used basmati brown rice would it change the cooking time at all?
Hi Maryjane! I have never tried brown basmati rice in the Instant Pot, but I found this recipe: http://www.themamamaven.com/2016/10/02/how-to-make-brown-basmati-rice-in-the-instant-pot/ You could cook it according to her recipe, and then add the remaining ingredients listed in my recipe. 🙂
In manual mode my IP has a low or high pressure option….which one do I use for the brown rice?
Hi Heather. We use high pressure.
I made this tonight exactly as written with perfect results! Even the kids loved it! Thank you for a great, easy recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
