Ingredients

  • olive oil nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed well
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel®)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 medium lime, juiced

Directions

Step 1
Spray the inner pot of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) with cooking spray. Add rinsed quinoa, diced tomatoes with green chiles with their juices, chicken broth, seasoned salt, chili powder, and garlic powder to the pot and stir gently. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 1 minute. Allow about 10 minutes for pressure to build.

Step 2
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.

Step 3
Drizzle juice of 1 lime over quinoa, fluff with a fork, and serve.

Cook’s Note:

You can use water or vegetable broth in place of chicken broth for a vegetarian option.
