Ingredients

These easy chicken tacos are filled with our Instant Pot Mexican Shredded Chicken recipe. Juicy, tender shredded chicken that's been cooked in the pressure cooker with fire roasted tomatoes, fresh lime, chipotle peppers and seasonings.

Our favorite way to serve chicken tacos is on freshly made sourdough tortillas. Homemade tortillas are so soft and delicious! Load them up with jalapeños, sliced radishes, creamy avocado, lime juice and cilantro for a light, fresh version of tacos. And don't forget a sprinkle of queso fresco cheese to top it all off!

Another way to serve them is "street taco" style by topping the chicken with chopped onion and lots of fresh cilantro. Or, just stick to old school toppings like shredded cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato. And don't forget to whip up the best, restaurant style guacamole ever!
