Cilantro Lime Brown Rice {Electric Pressure Cooker Recipe}

We love Mexican food. And I'm always on the lookout for a good Mexican dish that is healthy. So many Mexican recipes use white rice or a lot of meat, both of which we try to use in moderation. Here's a delicious side-dish recipe that we love that uses brown rice. Brown rice is better for you than white rice because it contains the outer hull, making it a whole grain with lots of fiber and nutrition. Cooking brown rice in the pressure cooker is so amazing - it comes out light and fluffy and soft in about half the time it takes to cook on the stove. It really is the best way to do it. We love to serve this as a topping on this yummy Mexican black bean salad.
