Instant Pot Verde Chicken Tacos (With Creamy Jalapeño)
So while I’m currently out of town on a little mini vacation, it was taco Tuesday before I left. And with things being more than a little crazy around my place, I decided to take the easy route when it came to dinner. Tacos are a staple in our house and well… we stay pretty true to taco Tuesday. I like to shake things up a bit when it comes to tacos. While I LOVE traditional beef tacos, I also like to play around with chicken tacos, vegetarian tacos, etc.
This time around, I went with some verde chicken tacos. And added some of my FAVORITE creamy jalapeño ranch sauce. To make them even more appealing, I had the chicken cook in the instant pot for a dinner that can be made in well under an hour.
These chicken tacos couldn’t be more simple to make. Toss the chicken and salsa into the instant pot for a bit and then build your tacos. The creamy jalapeño is what really makes these tacos stand out. So be sure that you don’t skimp out on that deliciousness!
While I prefer to use my own homemade ‘faux’ refried black beans, you can really get away with using an sort of refried (or otherwise) beans here. Standard ‘no salt added’ black beans would be damn good here too.
The creaminess of the sauce, the shredded chicken, cool avocado, and green chile kick make these tacos some of my personal favorites.
