Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice is a copycat version of Chipolte's rice but is made SUPER fast thanks to the instant pot. This rice is perfect to serve as a side dish or as a base for burritos.
Stir together the broth, lime zest and salt in the inner pot of the Instant Pot.
Add in the wet, rinsed rice and gently push rice down into stock to submerge. DO NOT STIR RICE.
Place the lid on the pressure cooker and be sure the vent knob is pointed towards sealed.
For Brown Rice, cook on high pressure for 22 minutes. For White Rice, cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
Once the cooking time has elapsed, let the pressure release naturally.
Once the pressure has released fully, open the instant pot and add in the chopped cilantro and fresh lime juice. Fluff with a fork to incorporate.
