Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
- 1 onion diced
- 4 oz chiles diced, canned
- 1 oz taco seasoning packet or homemade mix
- 1/2 c diced tomatoes Italian style, optional
Instructions
- Taco Meat with Ground Beef - Set your Instant Pot to saute normal and add your ground beef.
- Taco Meat with Frozen Ground Beef - Pour 1 c. water into your Instant Pot and lower a trivet down. Place 1-2 lbs frozen ground beef on your trivet. Close your lid and steam valve and set to high pressure for 5 minutes. Do a natural release for 10 minutes. Lift out meat and drain liquid in your pot. Continue on to next steps.
- Break up into smaller pieces and add your diced onion.
- Dump in your can of diced chiles and cook (gently mixing) until ground beef is almost done, all pink is almost gone but there is still a little.
- Pour in your diced tomatoes, if you want to add those, and sprinkle in your taco seasoning.
- Gently stir to coat all meat and veggies.
- Immediately when pink is gone on your ground beef turn pot off and pour taco meat into a bowl to serve so meat doesn't continue to cook in pot and dry out.
- Serve inside small tortillas with cheese, sour cream, avocado and other toppings.
