Cook the beef and the onion, until the meat, is no longer pink then add the Worcestershire sauce. Add veggies and seasoning: Add the peppers, corn, chilli powder, cumin, taco and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Deglaze: Add some water and using a wooden spoon the bottom of the pot of any bits that stuck to it. Add tomatoes and salsa: Next, you have to add the tomatoes and the salsa. Equally important is to remember NOT to stir, as this may cause a burn notice during the pressure cooking. Add the rice: Add the rice and once again do not stir, but instead with the back of a wooden spoon or a spatula, gently push the rice down and spread it evenly so it is submerged in liquid. Pressure cook: Cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes, and then quick release any remaining pressure. Stir in the cheese: Remove the lid and stir. Taste and adjust for any seasonings. Next stir in some of the shredded cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. After that place the lid on top to melt the cheese using the residual heat. Toppings: Finally, serve hot with your favourite Tex-Mex toppings. ALTERNATIVE COOKING: For an oven baked version, brown the beef, mix all the ingredients into a 9×12 casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees F /180 C for about 50-60 minutes. After that, top with more cheese, broil to melt it and serve garnished with your preferred toppings.
