Steps:
- Add the oil/water, onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the insert of the Instant Pot, press the SAUTE button, and set the time for 5 minutes, stir frequently.
- Add the rice, water, spices, tomatoes, corn, black beans, and finish with the enchilada sauce. Attach lid and turn to close, set valve to SEALING, and manually set to HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. Release pressure when done (to help keep the steam from getting all over, place a thin, single-layer kitchen towel over the valve to catch the steam).

- Cook 1 1/2 cups of rice according to package directions. Set aside.
- Heat oil/water in a medium-sized pot, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, saute for 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice, corn, tomatoes, black beans, spices, and enchilada sauce, cook over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until heated through.
- Remove from heat, let rest to thicken up, about 5 - 10 minutes. Add the cilantro and season to taste.

Steps:
- Mix chili powder, salt, and cumin together in a bowl. Rub mixture over the chicken.
- Pour chicken broth into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Add a rack to the bottom of the pot and place seasoned chicken on top. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Combine 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, 1 can green enchilada sauce, green chiles, onions, and jalapenos in a large mixing bowl. Stir to thoroughly blend.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred or chop into small pieces. Add to the mixing bowl with the cheese mixture. Stir until chicken mixture is blended.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet. Soften tortillas 1 at a time by dipping into the hot oil for 2 to 3 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken mixture onto a tortilla, roll up, and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and mixture.
