INSTANT POT® CHEESY MEXICAN LENTILS AND RICE
This makes a good side dish but is also good served as a main dish in a taco bowl. If you have any leftovers, this is also great reheated and lightly mashed with a spoon transforming it into a 'bean dip' and served with tortilla chips.

- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 10 minutes.
- Open the lid and stir in 1/2 of the Mexican cheese blend. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top. Put the lid back on top and let sit for 4 minutes. Garnish with cilantro.
