One of my MANY quick weeknight meals when we are on the go! I am a huge fan of my Instant Pot making my life easier on any given night. This is also the perfect addition for your Healthy Meal Prepping rotation! If I'm making "Chipotle" style bowls, I'll cook rice, sauté veggies and have salsa or guacamole to add to the bowls. If we're doing tacos, I'll heat the tortillas and let the family assemble that way! You could also take all of the ingredients for a bowl, throw them into a pot and top with a 3 cups of Bone Broth for an incredible soup. When I say this is "adaptable" ...I mean it!
