Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 cup Salsa
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • Small Flour or Corn Tortillas, warmed, for serving
  • Shredded Lettuce, for topping
  • Diced Tomatoes, for topping
  • Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend, for topping
  • Sour Cream, for topping
  • Fresh Cilantro, for topping
  • Lime Wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Place the chicken breasts in the Instant Pot and season them on both sides with the spice mixture. Pour the salsa, chicken broth, and lime juice over the top.
  • Lock the lid and set the valve to sealing. Pressure cook on high for 10 minutes.
  • When the cook time is complete, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to venting. Remove the lid once the pin drops.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir it into the juices so it absorbs all that flavor. Let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken in warm tortillas and load them up with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
