Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Instant Pot Chicken Tinga Tacos.
Step 1
Start by setting your Instant Pot to the 'Sauté' function.
Step 2
Drizzle in some olive oil and toss in the sliced onions, cooking them until they become soft and fragrant, which should take about two minutes.
Step 3
Once they’re ready, turn off the 'Sauté' function.

Now, it’s time to add the star ingredients: place the chicken breasts into the pot along with dried oregano, chopped chipotle peppers, crushed tomatoes, and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 5
Give everything a good stir to ensure all the flavors mingle beautifully.
Step 6
Next, seal the lid tightly and select 'High Pressure' following your Instant Pot's instructions.
Step 7
Set the timer for 15 minutes and let the magic happen as the pressure builds for about 10 minutes.

When the timer goes off, embrace the delicious aroma and use the natural release method to let the pressure drop for another 10 minutes.

After that, carefully unlock and remove the lid, revealing your savory creation.
Step 10
Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it cool for about 10 minutes.
Step 11
Once it’s cool enough to handle, shred the chicken using two forks, and then return it to the pot, stirring it back into the rich sauce.
