Ingredients used in Quinoa Burrito Bowl

(We use amazon affiliate links in the post. You can read the disclosure in our privacy policy.)

I have used 5 simple ingredients to make this DUMP & COOK INSTANT POT QUINOA BURRITO BOWL recipe.

  1. Quinoa – Since this grain is rich in protein, B Vitamins, dietary fiber, and complex carbs, it has gained popularity amongst health-conscious people. You may purchase Quinoa from your local store or order quinoa from here.
  2. Black Beans – These beans are commonly used in Latin & South American cuisine. The beans are also rich in protein, dietary fiber and minerals. I have used low sodium canned Black Beans in the recipe. And I always wash my canned beans under cold water before using in the recipe. You can order Black Beans here.
  3. Taco Seasoning – Since mine is a TEX MEX food loving family, I always keep my pantry stocked with TACO SEASONING, and FAJITA SEASONING. Make sure that it is Gluten-free to make Gluten-free Burrito bowls.
  4. SALSA (MEDIUM HOT & CHUNKY) – This is another pantry staple in my house. We finish bottles of it every month. You may use mild or hot salsa as well. I suggest using chunky to add texture to the recipe. Oder Medium Chunky Salsa here.
  5. Water & Salt to taste are the other ingredients to make this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Quinoa (regular white one) washed under cold water
  • 1 can (15 ounce) Black Beans low sodium or salt free or washed under cold water
  • 1 cup Salsa Medium Hot & Chunky
  • 2 tbsp Taco Seasoning glutenfree
  • 1&1/2 cups Water
  • To Taste Salt if required

GARNISHES & TOPPINGS- use few or all

  • 1/4 cup Bell Peppers, colorful finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Red Onion finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Cilantro leaves finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno sliced or chopped
  • 1 tbsp Lime Juice
  • Salsa and/or Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, Hot Sauce if desired
  • Few Taco or Nacho Chips for extra crunch

Instructions

  • Wash the QUINOA under cold water for 2 minutes in a strainer and set aside. Wash the canned Black Beans under cold water and set aside. Place the inner liner inside the 3 quart or 6 quart Instant Pot. Plug it in.
  • Add washed quinoa, salsa, washed canned black beans, chunky medium hot salsa, Taco seasoning and water to the inner pot. Give it a good stir.
  • IMPORTANT - Now do a taste test for salt. If you think you need salt, then only add it. Since taco seasoning, canned black beans and salsa already have good amount of salt, you have to be careful about the quantity of salt you add. I normally wouldn't add salt in this since I can always top it with more salsa or sprinkle more salt later on.
  • Place the lid of the instant pot and close it. Set the Valve to SEALING. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button and set it on HIGH & MORE for 2 minutes.
  • Once the timer goes off, follow NPR (natural pressure release). When the safety valve drops down, carefully open the lid. Let stand for 2 minutes.
  • Take a fork and fluff it up. Your MEXICAN BURRITO BOWL or QUINOA BURRITO BOWL is ready to be served.
  • Add the garnishes of your choice. I have used finely chopped colorful bell peppers, onions, jalapenos, cilantro to top it. And then a good squeeze of lime to make it perfect.

STORAGE & REFRIGERATION

  • This recipe is perfect to be eaten warm or served as a COLD SALAD.
  • Bring it to the room temperature. Store in air tight container in the refrigerator. Eat it as a cold salad with all the garnishes and salsa or pico de gallo and a squeeze of lime. 

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

  • Take it for a spring or summer potluck.
  • Pack it for Lunch Box
  • Make a quick and easy QUICK MEAL. Serve it with some Nachos chips on the side.

I am sure you are going to love this recipe so much that it will be on your weekly menu. Please leave your feedback under comments. We would love to hear back from you.

  1. I made this just as directed, and it was just an okay recipe for us. I will try it one more time, but I’m subbing an avocado for the jalapeño pepper, and I may even add a second can of pinto beans. It needs something like the texture and flavor an avocado gives.

  2. I made this for dinner tonight. It was absolutely delicious! I think I’m addicted now, and I’m sure I’ll be making this often. Thanks for the great recipe.

    1. Hi Kristin – absolutely yes. In that case, you can use washed dry black beans and brown rice and pressure cook for 25 minutes together on high. Or just cook brown rice separately and add canned black beans later.

    2. I had tried making quinoa on the stove years ago & really disliked it (user error?) But, with the pressure cooker, the quinoa absorbs all the yumminess mixed in and was moist. If he hasn’t had it cooked in q pressure cooker, maybe he would like it this way‍♀️ I totally get it though. My hubby is so anti-beans, that I doubt he’d even try a bite without modifications.

  3. I can’t believe how easy and how good this is! I’d like to make a double recipe in a few days when my children and their families fly in. If I make a double recipe, will I have to cook it for a different amount of time?

  4. Looks delicious and easy to make! I love quinoa, it is probably favorite as of late. Making it in a pot makes it even better to worth through which means I will cook it more often

  5. I love this recipe so much! Every single ingredient sounds amazing, I’ll definitely be adding this to my list of things to try!

  6. I need to try this recipe, it so delicious and it look so easy to prepare. I am sure my family will really enjoy eating this dish.
