Instant Chili Lime Chicken Tacos
Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot®) tacos are super quick and easy to make. The chili and lime give a burst of flavor to the tender chicken, which gets shredded for the tacos. The shredded chicken is very versatile and can also be used on salads, sandwiches, quesadillas and other recipes too.

Pre-heat the pressure cooker using the BROWN or SAUTÉ setting.

Add about 1 tablespoon of oil to the pressure cooker and brown the chicken in batches on both sides. Remove the browned chicken to a side plate.

Add the onion and garlic to the cooker and sauté for a few minutes, until lightly browned. Pour in the chicken stock and lime juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the cooker. Return the chicken to the cooker and lock the lid in place.

5
Pressure-cook on HIGH for ⏱️ 5 minutes.
6
Let the pressure drop NATURALLY and carefully remove the lid. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it cool for a few minutes.
7
While chicken is cooling, return to the BROWN or SAUTÉ setting and simmer the sauce until it reduces and thickens to about ¾ cup.
8
Shred the chicken with two forks and return the shredded chicken to the pressure cooker with the reduced sauce. Toss to coat the chicken with the sauce and set the cooker to WARM.
9
Warm the tortillas by either popping them into a 350ºF oven wrapped in foil for about ⏱️ 10 minutes, or by frying each one in a little olive oil over medium-high heat for about ⏱️ 1 minute per side. Set up all your favorite toppings and let everyone build their own taco.
