Chicken Tacos in an Instant Pot® pressure cooker – www.instantlydelicious.com – Instantly Delicious

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.
