Instructions
Press sauté.

Add garlic, and cook for about 1 minute, stirring the entire time.
Stir in ancho chile powder, cumin, and oregano.
Press cancel.
Pour in 1/4 cup chicken broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits. This is important because it helps to prevent a burn message.

Tops with beans, corn, and salsa.
Sprinkle rice over the top.
Drizzle remaining chicken broth over the rice. Do not stir.
Close and lock the lid.
Turn the pressure release valve to sealing.
Press manual and adjust pressure to high and time to 16 minutes.
When cooking time is up, carefully turn the pressure release valve to venting.
Open the lid and then stir shred chicken and combine.
Notes
Oil
: You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, or a similar oil.
Chili powder
: I like to use ancho chile powder, but you can use regular chile powder if you prefer. Also, feel free to adjust the amount to taste.
Chicken broth
: I use reduced-sodium chicken broth so that I can better control the sodium level in this recipe, but you can use regular if you prefer.
Beans
: Free free to sub pinto beans, kidney beans, or another type of canned beans if you prefer.
Corn
: You can use frozen (not thawed) corn in place of the canned corn.
Salsa
: Feel free to use salsa that's as hot or as mild as you like. I usually use a chunky garden-type salsa.
