Here ya go!
The Instant Pot version of the fabulous Baja Shredded Chicken Tacos!
This chicken is divine…a lovely combo of flavors that the chicken soaks in beautifully. And the way that the IP infuses flavor by using heat and pressure, makes this shredded chicken even more delightful.
Add this to your favorite tortillas with a little pico de gallo or salsa and BOOM.
Fast, simple, delicious weeknight dinner!
Enjoy!
P.S. Use warmed corn tortillas for “street tacos” and gluten-free version of this meal!
