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.

This fantastic dish is kid-friendly and guest-friendly thanks to the variety of toppings–juicy tomatoes, creamy diced avocado, even a slice or two of jalapeno if you like it spicy!
And did we mention this is a one-pot meal? Having a dinner that comes together fast is only half the battle if it dirties every dish in the kitchen. This one-pot wonder is not only fast to prepare, it’s a snap to clean up.
