Notes
- Tips
- " Cook time does not include time to come up to pressure or for pressure to release.
- " For a lighter option, omit the tortillas and serve over a bed of lettuce (romaine is a good choice). This will also make the recipe Keto and Paleo.
- " If you're not gluten-free, you can use wheat flour tortillas if you prefer.
- " If you want to make your own corn tortillas (easy to do), follow my How to Make Corn Tortillas tutorial.
- " To make vegan or vegetarian tacos, try substituting the shredded chicken with my Instant Pot Lentil Soup with Mexican flavours. This is a thick soup that will hold up fairly well in tacos, although you may want to use a slotted spoon to release some of the liquid.
- " Highly recommended: serve your tacos with a delicious Ginger Beer.
- ++ Weight Watchers Points in Instant Pot Chicken Tacos (Chicken Only) I have included the Weight Watchers points for the shredded chicken below.
- For the tacos, calculate additional points based on the toppings you use.
