I LOVE cilantro! And one of my cravings is the Cafe Rio Cilantro Rice at their restaurants. So when I threw a birthday party for my two oldest kids with burrito bowls I knew I wanted to try making cilantro rice to go along with dinner.

Why we love our Instant Pot, Instant Pot Accessories and more information!

I’ve had such a fun time experimenting with recipes in our Instant Pot, it was a fun challenge to make this recipe in the pressure cooker!

I made this recipes a few times, tweaking it until it was just right.

The thing that makes this recipe SO good is a few unexpected ingredients like butter, chicken bouillon and green chilis. It is delicious and SO easy to make.

It only cooks for 6 minutes in the Instant Pot. So it is a wonderful dish to make while you are getting things ready to serve dinner.

 

I also made burrito bowls and chocolate mousse cheesecake the day I made this rice — AND they were all made in the Instant Pot. Confused as to how I did this? It’s all in the timing and preparation. I made the Chocolate Mousse Cheesecakes the night before and then put them in the fridge. They need to be refrigerated for at least 4 hours before serving so that worked out great. I made the Tomatillo Carnitas meat that morning and then I warmed it up in the microwave right before we ate. And I made the Instant Pot Cafe Rio Cilantro Lime Rice right before we ate so it would be PIPING hot. YUM!

Here’s the recipe for Cafe Rio-Inspired Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice:
