I love tacos. It is one of my favorite meals and these chicken tacos using the Instant Pot® are a family favorite. Simply dressed with a little white onion, lime juice, and cilantro, they make the perfect healthy dinner. I frequently forget to thaw the chicken I have in the freezer, and even then, they cook up in no time.
This taco filling would be great as part of a burrito or taco bowl, or even a taco salad. Sometimes I just serve it over rice with salsa. The recipe freezes really well, so double the recipe and have chicken taco filling ready for a quick weeknight meal. This recipe is gluten-free. Just serve with corn tortillas or rice, instead of the flour tortillas pictured.
