Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the 'Sealing' position.

6.

Cook on 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting for 10 minutes.

Return the shredded chicken to the Instant Pot and stir to combine.

10.

Notes


1.

For a thicker soup, remove about 1 cup of the soup after cooking and blend it with an immersion blender before returning it to the pot.

2.

If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own blend with chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

3.

Adjust the amount of chili powder to your spice preference.
