Instructions
Cook the meat:
- Add chicken, salsa, chicken stock, chili powder, taco seasoning, and cumin, lime juice, and zest, to a 6-qt Instant Pot and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- Close and lock the lid, point the valve to sealed (on older models).
- Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. When finished cooking, do a quick-release according to the manufacturer’s directions.
- Remove chicken from the Instant Pot and place it in a medium bowl. Shred-it using two forks, and season it with salt and pepper, to taste.
Make nachos:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Arrange the tortilla chips in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, and distribute them evenly.
- Top with 2 cups of shredded chicken (reserving the remaining chicken for later use), pico de Gallo, and shredded cheese.
- Place into oven and bake until heated through and the cheese has melted; about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve immediately, topped with guacamole, sour cream, sliced jalapenos, and cilantro.
