By :Everyday Mexican Instant Pot Cookbook by Leslie Limon |

Arroz con leche is a sweet and creamy Mexican rice pudding lightly infused with cinnamon that both kids and grown-ups love. This version is extra creamy because it is made tres leches–style, with three types of milk: whole, evaporated, and sweetened condensed. Using the Instant Pot® for this classic Mexican dessert makes it even easier to enjoy with no hassle at all. Just mix in the ingredients, cover the pot, press start, and forget about it.

Everyday Mexican Instant Pot Cookbook by Leslie Limon
Leslie Limón is a food blogger who resides in a small town nestled in the Mexican highlands -- just two hours north of Guadalajara -- from where she shares her love of Mexican cuisine on her blog, La Cocina de Leslie. Raised by her Mexican grandparents in Redlands, California, Leslie grew up eating homemade, authentic Mexican food from the states of Sonora and Chihuahua. Her earliest memories of tacos are of helping to roll balls of masa and flattening them in a tortilla press while her grandmother gently laid them on a hot cast-iron comal. Leslie thought she knew just about everything there was to know about Mexican food, but upon moving to Mexico she discovered that Mexican food varies from state to state and sometimes even region to region. This book is a celebration of all things tacos, because a life without tacos is no life at all.
