Instant Pot 20-Minute Chicken Burrito Bowls

This is one of my favorite go-to weeknight meal recipes. I can throw the ingredients in the pot, spend a few minutes prepping the toppings and still have time to spare before it’s ready to eat. The whole thing comes together in 20 minutes thanks to my favorite cooking appliance, the Instant Pot.
