• Red bell pepper: 1/2, diced

• Cumin: 1 tsp
  
  
• White rice: 1.5 cups, rinsed and drained

• Salsa is a main flavoring component, so choose wisely
• Goes well as a side with chicken enchiladas

2. Add chicken broth (or veggie broth) and the spices, stir to combine
3. Add rice to instant pot, then add salsa. Don't stir after adding salsa, since chunks of tomato may scorch if they settle on the bottom
