Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Taco Bowl with Cilantro Quinoa and Brown Rice

This Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Taco Bowl with Cilantro Quinoa and Brown Rice was something I experimented with and came up with on a random weekend night. I am not a fan of cooking on weeknights. I feel like my days are already so jammed pack with a full workday and workout sessions. I prefer to just relax in the evenings.

I typically meal prep my lunch and dinner in advance so that I make this possible. This past weekend it was pretty much impossible for me to squeeze in meal prep, without sacrificing my sleep. I NEED my sleep! It’s so important.

I spent the weekend assisting with a bridal shower (I am a bridesmaid), going out to a great dinner with drinks, and attending a birthday brunch for another close friend. I love weekends like these. I can be a homebody at times, but the reality is….I am a social butterfly.

When the weather is nice I feel like I can really allow my social butterfly wings to flourish. It was an incredible weekend, and thus I was left without any time to even think about the upcoming week.

This bowl reminds me a little of my favorite bowl at Chipotle. RELAX, this is not a copycat recipe or dupe for a Chipotle Burrito Bowl. However, it is tasty and HEALTHY. I am so in love with how juicy the shredded chicken is from the Instant Pot. Adding salsa and chicken broth to the pressure cooking process goes a long way!
