One of the great things about tacos is that there are so many different ways to make one! Beef tacos, fish tacos, chicken tacos…the list goes on.
These Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Tacos will be a great addition to your taco rotation. The chicken is tender and full of flavor.
How to make Shredded Chicken Tacos in the Instant Pot:
Place the chicken on the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add cumin and chili powder and pour water on top of the chicken
Lock the lid in place and turn the knob to SEALING. Press the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK button and set for 20 minutes if thawed and 25 minutes if frozen.
When the timer is up, let the Instant Pot release on its own for about 10 minutes. When ready, quick release the rest of the pressure.
After removing the lid, remove the chicken and shred (or you can shred it in the Instant Pot if you want.) Turn the Instant Pot off, return the chicken into the Instant Pot, and then stir to coat in the sauce.
Serve in tortillas or taco shells. Top as desired. Enjoy!
