Ingredients
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
  • 3/4 cup brown lentils
  • 3/4 cup brown rice
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
Instructions
1
Combine chicken broth, diced tomatoes, lentils, uncooked white rice, chopped onion, sliced jalapeno peppers, minced garlic, taco seasoning, dried oregano, and ground cumin in a versatile pressure cooker. Secure the lid tightly
2
Follow the manufacturer's guidelines to set the high-pressure mode and schedule a 10-minute cooking time. Wait for 15 minutes before releasing the pressure naturally, as recommended by the manufacturer

Once the pressure has been released, carefully open the lid and mix in half of the Mexican cheese blend. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, then cover the lid again and let it sit for 4 minutes. Finish by garnishing with fresh cilantro
