Ingredients

Method

  1. Add chicken breasts, broth, salt, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and the canned tomatoes with their liquid to the Instant Pot.

  2. Lock the lid and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes (or 30 minutes if using frozen chicken).

  3. After cooking, carefully vent the pressure cooker by switching the vent knob to the vent position and wait for the float valve to drop completely.

  4. Remove the lid and use two forks to shred the cooked chicken directly in the pot.

  5. Transfer the shredded chicken to tortillas and top with cheese, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, sour cream, or other desired toppings.

Notes

For 30 minutes cook time with frozen breasts, allow 10 minutes longer to reach pressure before cooking begins.

Store any leftover shredded chicken in the cooking liquid in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
