Ingredients

2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup chicken broth
1 ounce taco seasoning or 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
1 cup salsa
18 small flour tortillas
shredded cheese for topping
diced tomatoes for topping

Instructions

In the base of the Instant Pot, combine the chicken tenders and the chicken broth. Top with the taco seasoning and salsa.
2 pounds chicken tenders, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 ounce taco seasoning, 1 cup salsa
Seal the Instant Pot, with the steam release set to sealed. Set the Instant Pot to manual, high pressure for five minutes.
After about 10 to 15 minutes, the Instant Pot will reach pressure, and then it will cook for 5 minutes. At the end of the cook time, turn the steam release to venting. Once the float valve drops, about five minutes, open the pressure cooker.
Shred the chicken tenders and mix to combine them with the liquid. I sometimes like to remove the chicken tenders, shred them using the paddle attachment of my stand mixer, and then return everything to the pressure cooker. Toss it all to combine well and then use the chicken to make tacos, using your favorite toppings.

Notes
