Instant Pot Salsa Chicken Tacos
Tender shredded chicken simmered in salsa and spices, folded into warm tortillas, and topped with fresh toppings. This Instant Pot Salsa Chicken Tacos recipe makes weeknights simple without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup salsa (your favorite variety)
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh preferred)
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- Toppings: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, cilantro, avocado
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your Instant Pot. Pour the salsa over the chicken and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Drizzle with lime juice.
- Lock the lid, set the vent to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. When the timer goes off, quick-release the pressure and open the pot.
- Remove the chicken to a plate and shred with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir it into the sauce to absorb flavor.
- Warm the tortillas either in a dry skillet, in a microwave, or in a warm oven. Spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla and top with your favorite toppings.
