Instant Pot Mexican Quinoa Bowl - Gluten and Dairy Free

Our awesome and generous neighbors invited us over to swim one evening.  It was right during dinner time and I knew that the 8 of us would come home starving.  I quickly threw this in the instant pot before leaving.  We left and swam and had such a great time!  

When we came home we had a fantastic, warm meal waiting for us.  Everyone was definitely starving and so happy to dig in! 

And this, ladies and gentleman, is why the instant pot is the greatest invention of all time.  It prepares a meal while you DO SOMETHING ELSE.  

It's like having an extra cook in the house.  THE BEST!

1 1/2 tsp. cumin

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 

1 can of corn, drained, or 1 c. of frozen
