This recipe for instant pot chicken tacos is one of my favorites especially for taco night. Whenever I make these tacos, I always have to cook another half serving because my kids are always asking for seconds—that’s how good they are. One reason why I love this recipe is that it only has 7 ingredients and they’re probably already sitting in your kitchen, and it takes less than half an hour to prepare. Such a fantastic recipe for a quick but quality lunch or dinner.
