    Between being a born and raised Alberta girl, and visiting my childhood friend Kimmy in Texas multiple times a year, this Instant Pot Chipotle Beef Meal Prep basically unites those two major parts of my life.

    Alberta beef with a Southern flare - hello Chipotle in Adobo!

    The Instant Pot makes the less expensive stew beef into shredded tender beef in 45 minutes (or 60 if it is a frozen block like mine are).

    I am so fortunate to live close to so many Alberta family run beef ranches here in Airdrie, Alberta - that deliver my beef order to my door!  This high quality beef is from Long Run Ranch and the flavor is so fantastic! PS. not sponsored - I just really like them!

    This recipe is freezer friendly after it is made. So, make these bowls for this week, or put them in the freezer for hectic days ahead.

    You all are always so curious about my containers, so here you go... I use these glass 2 compartment containers.

    I also want to note that I did these photos hot right out of the Instant Pot. On reheat, the sauce thickens quite a bit. I probably should have done the photos next day, but here we are!
