Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
14 oz vegan ground "beef" or 350 g firm tofu, drained and crumbled
2-3 tbsp taco seasoning
1 1/2-2 cups water or soup stock, boiling
1 1/2 cups cooked black beans, rinsed (398 mL can)
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels (canned (drained), or fresh corn works, too)
1 cup long grain white rice, rinsed until water is clear
1 cup tomato salsa
handful of torn up cilantro, optional
1-1 1/2 cups shredded vegan cheese, optional
avocado slices or guacamole for serving, optional

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large cast-iron enamel coated skillet over medium, heat the oil. (If you don't have an oven safe skillet, do this in a frying pan and then combine everything later in a heavy ceramic or glass 9" x 13" casserole dish.) Brown the vegan ground "beef" or tofu for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the ground or tofu, stir well to coat. De-glaze with 2 cups boiling water or soup stock, scraping the bottom to lift any stuck bits. (This is when you add everything to the casserole dish if you don't have an oven-safe heavy skillet).
Stir in the black beans, corn, rice and salsa. Turn off the heat. Cover with tight fitting lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.
Optional: stir in the cilantro and/or vegan cheese. If adding the vegan cheese to the top instead, cover for 5 minutes so it melts. Serve with avocado slices, guacamole, more salsa or other toppings as desired.
Set the Instant-Pot to Sauté. Heat the oil and then sauté the vegan ground "beef"/crumbled tofu for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. You're looking for some extra texture. Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the ground or tofu, stir well to coat.
Deglaze with 1 1/2 cups boiling water or soup stock, scraping the bottom to lift any stuck bits (or they will burn during pressure cooking). Layer in black beans, corn, rice and salsa. DO NOT STIR.
Put on the lid, ensuring the steam valve is closed. Set to Pressure Cook on high for 3 minutes. When the time is up, allow the pressure to come down naturally for 10 minutes. At the end of 10 minutes, release the steam valve.
Optional: stir in the cilantro and/or vegan cheese. If adding the vegan cheese to the top instead, cover for 5 minutes so it melts. Serve with avocado slices, guacamole, more salsa or other toppings as desired.
