  2. In a small bowl whisk together chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, garlic, oregano and salt. Season meat and massage spices into the beef with your hands. 
  3. Place avocado oil in Instant Pot and turn it on to saute mode. Cook onion until it begins to soften. Add the remaining teaspoon of cumin and stir until fragrant.
