Step 1
Start by turning on your pressure cooker and setting it to the sauté mode. Once it’s hot, add a splash of oil, then toss in the bell peppers and onion. Cook them for about 5 minutes until they’re nice and tender. Next, add the beef substitute, breaking it up as you stir, and cook until it’s browned, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 2
Now, mix in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning until everything is well combined. Pour in the chicken broth and rice, then cancel the sauté function. Secure the lid and set your cooker to high pressure for 10 minutes. It might take 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.

Once the cooking time is up, carefully release the pressure using the quick-release method. When the steam has fully released, open the lid and give everything a good stir. Serve it right away, topping with Mexican cheese, sour cream, black olives, and avocado to your liking. Enjoy!
