  2. Add water and salsa to the Instant Pot then mix until well incorporated, making sure that nothing is stuck on the bottom of the pot. Without stirring, sprinkle the bulgur over the mixture then top with diced bell pepper and black beans. Secure the lid and move the steam release valve to sealing. Select the Manual/Pressure Cook setting to cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
