Some nights you just need a simple, fuss-free dump dinner.

What are dump dinners? It’s exactly what it sounds like: dump all the ingredients into a cooking vessel and let it do its thanggg. Minimal. Effortless. Essential.

You can make dump meals in the oven, in a slow cooker, over the stove top or the handy dandy instant pot! Which, if you couldn’t tell already is what we’re using today to make ultra delicious big-on-flavour vegan burrito burrito bowls.

I wanted this recipe to use as minimal ingredients as possible without compromising flavour. So we’re working with just 8 pantry staples!

  • canned black beans
  • canned corn
  • long grain rice
  • canned chilies
  • salsa (from a jar) – mild or spicy!
  • homemade taco mix – you can use store bought but this DIY version gives it so much more flavour IMO.
  • onion
  • bell pepper – this is a staple vegetable in my kitchen BUT you can totally omit or substitute with mushrooms, carrots or cauliflower.

Let’s get into how the magic happens.

First, use the sauté option to cook the onions and peppers until translucent a slightly tender. Add in the taco seasoning and cook for another 30 seconds.

Dump in the black beans, corn, green chilies and salsa.

Then layer the rice evenly on top. Pour the broth over, making sure that the rice is fully submerged underwater. DO NOT STIR! Press the white rice button and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally.

And thats it! You can take it up a notch by stirring in some vegan cheese so you get some of that creamy-stretchy action.

Ouu, yes and for toppings… go wild with it. You can top it off with some more vegan cheese, cashew sour cream, avocado, cilantro, green onions and tortilla chips. YUM.

Leftovers will keep well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days so it’s also great for a quick hands free meal prep. I hope you guys try and love this one as much as we do!!
