Shredded Chicken Tacos in an Instant Pot
Here's a quick recipe for one. All you need is one chicken breast or thigh, a cup of rice, a cup and a quarter of chicken broth, whatever spices you have on hand, a handful of vegetables from the fridge and three tortillas.
Every good home in the South has all of those. And maybe a jalapeños or two if you're lucky.
Of course you need a pressure cooker too. I'm using an Instant pot. Here is the cooking chart for chicken when using an instant pot. Believe me, you'll want to write these down. They aren't found everywhere. For some reason people want to cook with frozen chicken and not fresh meat.
* 6-ounce chicken breasts 6 minutes on high pressure for fresh/ 10 minutes on high pressure for frozen
* 8-ounce chicken breasts 7 minutes on high pressure for fresh/11 minutes on high pressure for frozen
* 10-ounce chicken breasts 8 minutes on high pressure for fresh/12 minutes on high pressure for frozen

Tacos Birria are one of the tastiest tacos you can find on the streets in Mexico. What makes tacos. So unique is that the tortilla also has an additional layer of flavor. They are dunked in the meat use that the meat was prepared in. This adds another layer of explosion in its flavor profile.
I know you will enjoy this recipe. It's not only great to eat but it's fun to make.
Meat - 3 pounds
2-3 tablespoons of Salt
Three dried Guajillo peppers
Two dried ancho peppers
Two chipotle peppers from a can
2 tablespoons of avocado oil
1 onion
4 diced garlic cloves
3 cups of beef broth
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
14 ounces of peeled tomatoes
Corn tortillas
White cheese (Queso Chihuahua, or Manchego)
To prepare the sauce you need to cut open the chilies and take out the seeds and the veins. Place them into a bowl and pour 2 cups of boiling beef broth on them to hydrate. Let them sit for 20 minutes. Add them to a blender with 14 ounces of peeled tomatoes and blend until smooth. Set it to the side.
Prepare the meat by adding a generous portion of salt to all sides of the meat. Turn the instant pot on in the sauté mode. Wait for the bottom to get hot and then add the meat in such a way as to not overcrowd the pot. Let the meat brown 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the meat and then add diced onions to the pot. Lower the heat if necessary and continue to sauté the onions with a tablespoon of oil. Add the diced garlic to the onions and continue to sauté until the onions become translucent. Add 1 cup of beef broth to the pot and remove the fond from the bottom. Once the fund is completely removed from the bottom of the pot add a meat and the red sauce. Close the instant pot and turn on the pressure cooking mode. Select the timer for 30 minutes and let it cook on a zone.
Allow the pot to natural release, remove the meat and pull it apart with forks.
Making the tacos:
Turn on your hot plat or comal and once it is hot enough dunk your tortilla into the red meat sauce and place it on to the Comal. Turn the tortilla over within 30 seconds to allow the red sauce to evenly coat the tortilla. Once the tortilla is hot enough add a tablespoon or two of meat, a pinch of cheese and fold the tortilla over it to make a taco. Add additional red sauce onto the tortilla before plating it. Garnish the plate of tacos with cheese and cilantro if you like.

Crispy Chicken thighs and Mexican Street Corn
Chicken Thighs with Mexican Street Corn
Chicken is a a protein we many times overlook. Besides Pork it is the most readily available protein in may grocery stores and the one that graces most company dinner menus. But it don’t have to be boring.
In my mind a boring piece of chicken is one that is forgettable or worse yet is dry-as-a-bone inedible. This can be remedied many times by choosing the right piece of the chicken. “THE THIGH”.
It is by far the most juicer piece of the bird and for many beginner cooks you will find that it is the most forgiving. In other words you can overstep your cooking and the piece will still be delicious.
Another piece to the puzzle is the crispy skin. It adds an additional layer of texture that makes us like it more. We are wired to believe that “Crispy is delicious”.
As for the Mexican Street Corn, it’s a beautiful side dish that adds some brightness and color to the brown chicken and gravy. :) It’s easy to make and taste like you had to work really hard to get the flavors where you like them.
Here are the INGREDIENTS:
3 chicken thighs - with skin and bone-in
1 onion
3 cloves of garlic (minced) (2 tsp)
2 cups of frozen corn
2 cups of chopped jalapeño
BUTTER - about 4 tablespoons
1 cup of beer
1 cup of heavy cream
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper (freshly ground)
1 red chili pepper powder
Juice of half of a lime

1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of salt
Ingredients for the jalapeño rice:

Add a cup to a cup and a half of water to the instant pot.

Set the instant pot on high and the timer for 10 minutes.
Place the top on the instant pot and wait for the opt to build pressure.
When the pot beeps that it is pressurized, start preheating the oven to 450 degrees.
When the instant pot beeps alerting you that the 10 minutes has passed then release the pressure and place the wings on a lined cookie sheet.
Add a drizzle of oil to the wings and a pinch of salt.
Place the tray into the preheated oven and set timer of 12 minutes or until the wings start looking crispy.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves
