Pressure Cooker Chicken Taco Filling Food

INSTANT POT TACOS

Steps:

• Put 1 cup of water and the beef into a 6-quart Instant Pot®. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on manual high pressure for 10 minutes (see Cook's Note).
• After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid.
• Turn the pot to the saute function and stir in the onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, cornstarch, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 teaspoons pepper until combined and the meat is broken up. Let simmer until thickened and the onions are softened, about 8 minutes.
• Serve with the taco shells and toppings.

PRESSURE COOKER CHIPOTLE-HONEY CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Combine the chicken, chipotles and adobo sauce, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and cumin in an electric pressure cooker. Stir well. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid.
• Remove the chicken to a bowl or cutting board using tongs. Shred the chicken with two forks. If you'd like to reduce the sauce, set to sauté and simmer, 5 minutes. Add the chicken back into the pot.
• Stir in the black beans and a squeeze of lime juice, set to sauté and let the beans warm through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve in tortillas with pickled onions and avocado.

PRESSURE COOKER WHOLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine salt, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, white pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Rub the outside of the chicken and inside the cavity generously with the seasoning mixture.
• Turn on an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Pour oil into the pot and allow to get hot, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Brown chicken in the hot oil on each side (breast side and back side) for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and set it aside on a plate. Cancel Sauté function.
• Pour chicken stock into the pot and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits.
• Place a steamer rack trivet in the bottom of the pressure cooker pot, then place the whole chicken, breast side up, on top of the trivet.
• Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow about 6 minutes for pressure to build.
• Let pressure release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions, 25 to 35 minutes. Unlock lid and remove.
• Open the lid and carefully remove the chicken from the pressure cooker. Allow the chicken to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
