Instant Pot Taco Meat
This dish is perfect for busy weeknights or when you have friends over. The Instant Pot makes it incredibly easy to whip up delicious taco meat in no time. Whether you’re filling tacos, topping a salad, or making nachos, this recipe delivers a savory and satisfying meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey for a healthier option)
- 1 small onion, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup beef broth or water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, or avocado
Instructions:
- Start by setting your Instant Pot to the sauté mode. Once hot, add the minced onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the ground beef (or turkey) to the pot. Cook it for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until browned. If there’s excess fat, drain it to keep the meat lean.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, mixing well to coat the meat evenly. Pour in the beef broth or water to help deglaze the pot, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and turn the valve to the sealing position. Select the high-pressure cooking mode and set the timer for 10 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, and then do a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid carefully, and give the taco meat a good stir. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
- Your Instant Pot Taco Meat is now ready! Serve it up in taco shells, over rice, or atop a salad. Don’t forget to add your favorite toppings for an extra kick!
Enjoy this delicious and easy meal that’s perfect for all occasions. This recipe not only saves time but is also packed with flavor, making it a hit for everyone at the table!
