6-Ingredient Instant Pot Chicken Tacos That Will Change Your Life

By Evelyn

I’m not joking when I say that buying an instant pot was one of the biggest game changers when it comes to making tasty and wholesome home cooked family meals in no time at all. You can even make chicken tacos with an instant pot — chicken tacos! Not only are they super easy to make, but these might just be the best chicken tacos that you’ll ever try. They’re stuffed full of shredded chicken and spicy goodness thanks to the addition of ground cumin and chili powder. To help offset a bit of the fiery goodness of these tacos, the recipe also includes a bit of garlic, lime juice, and oregano. One taste of these and you’re going to want to do taco night every night.
