These easy instant pot chicken tacos are even easier to make than my slow cooker chicken tacos. The main reason why, it only takes 16 to cook once your Instant Pot comes to pressure. Isn’t that fantastic? It’s as easy as any dump and go slow cooker recipe but is ready to eat in hardly any time at all.
All you need is some chicken, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salsa. You can personalize these tacos by the type of salsa you use in the recipe. Pick the level of heat you want and the type of salsa you like. There are so many options available.
Then use the chicken with your favorite tortillas. I am partial to corn tortillas cooked in a skillet with a little oil. There are also some great low carb flour tortillas out there. Then use what ever topping you like. I am partial to shredded cheese, light sour cream, guacamole, and shredded lettuce. If I have some pico de gallo for these easy chicken tacos, that’s even better.
