This recipe uses cheddar, hash browns, ham and spinach (optional), but you can vary the ingredients according to your taste, or vary from week to week to keep things interesting. Try swiss cheese, shredded sweet potatoes, and bacon. Try red bell pepper, onion, and feta. The possibilities are endless!

The secret is the pot-in-pot method that allows you to make denser, richer foods in the Instant Pot by using a separate oven-proof container suspended over water. We do a lot of our pot-in-pot cooking with this simple 1.5-quart casserole dish. It’s dishwasher safe and fits perfectly.

For best results, heat the tortillas in the microwave wrapped in damp paper towels to get them pliable enough to roll without splitting. Once rolled, put them seam-side down to cool and they will stay sealed. Burritos can also be individually wrapped and frozen.
