Arroz con Huevo (Rice with Egg)

This is a real simple rice side dish that takes only 6 minutes in the Instant Pot. This rice can be made with or without the achiote paste. It just depends on what color and flavor you’re going for. A long grain rice will work the best for this recipe. I used basmati. What makes this side dish even better is that the rice is topped off with a fried egg.
