Description

A delicious, creamy taco filling that can also be used in your other favorite Tex-Mex meals!


Ingredients

6 chicken breasts (2.5 pounds of meat)

1 cup water

1 packet Ortega Taco Seasoning

1/4 cup Ortega Taco Sauce

8 ounces cream cheese

additional salt + pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Put all ingredients into the Instant Pot. I just pulled apart my block of cream cheese into chunks and it worked great.
  2. Stir taco seasoning into liquid. Secure lid onto Instant Pot and set on manual mode for 12 minutes. After your 12 minutes of cooking time, you will want to do a 10 minute natural release of pressure. See recipe tips if you are unfamiliar with what this means.
  3. After your 10 minute natural release of pressure, release your steam vent to let out any additional steam, then remove lid. Switch your Instant Pot to saute mode, and mix cream cheese particles into the sauce. The saute will also help you shred your chicken easily.
  4. Serve in hard taco shells with all of your favorite taco night toppings! We served ours with hard taco shells, cojita cheese, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

I use an Instant Pot Duo Plus and love it!
