Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients except chicken broth to a medium bowl or a gallon-size zip-top bag. Mix together until all the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  3. Manually release the pressure, transfer the chicken to a plate and shred it with two forks.
  4. Return shredded chicken back to Instant Pot and mix together to coat with juices.
  5. Serve in warm tortillas with onions, cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges, and your other preferred taco toppings.
