We do Mexican food in Texas

Texans love tacos. Actually we haven’t met one we don’t like. When I need to be a Super Hero in the kitchen, if I say “taco”, it’s a pretty safe bet. This 30-Minute Chicken Taco Bowl recipe comes from a combination of successes, trials and errors using Pinterest recipes. Sometimes they work and other times they flop. I chose the base ingredients and flavors I love best, then made a combination of veggies that are both tasty and purposeful in our body.

30-Minute Chicken Taco Bowl Ingredients

  • 2 cups of chicken broth
  • 3 chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup of taco seasoning
  • 1 and 3/4 cup of black beans rinsed and drained (one 14 oz can)
  • 3/4 cup of corn
  • 1/2 cup of chopped green peppers, onions and red pepper mixture
  • 1 and 1/2 cup of medium salsa
  • 1 and 1/2 cup of long grain rice

Topping Options

  • avocado
  • fresh cilantro
  • cheese
  • sour cream
  • tortilla strips or chips

30-Minute Chicken Taco Bowl Directions

  • Fill the bottom of the instant pot with chicken broth.
  • Add 3 chicken breasts.
  • Cover the chicken breasts with taco seasoning.
  • Add the corn and the black beans.
  • Add the onion and pepper mixture.
  • Pour the salsa on top of the veggies.
  • Pour the remaining chicken broth on top of everything.
  • Lastly, add the rice and make sure it’s covered by the liquid.
  • Close the lid and set the valve to sealing.
  • Set your timer for 10 minutes (it will take some time for the pressure to build BEFORE the IP begins to cook the food).
  • Once the timer is finished, allow the IP to release the steam naturally for 10 more minutes.
  • Finally turn the value to release and open the lid (be careful it may still be hot).
  • Fluff the rice and locate the chicken at the bottom.
  • Remove the chicken and shred it.
  • Close the lid to the IP while you prep and top the rest of the food. Remove the lid after 4-5 minutes.
  • Serve over lettuce with a scoop of rice, then the chicken and finally your toppings.
  • Enjoy fresh and hot.
