Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 – 2 pounds chicken thighs (I trim mine but this step is not absolutely necessary)
- 1 packet of taco seasoning or 1 recipe homemade taco seasoning (included)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Taco ingredients: flour or corn tortillas or taco shells (lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa)

Instructions
- If using homemade taco seasoning, combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Place chicken thighs, taco seasoning, and 3/4 cup water in a 50-ounce round freezer safe container. Stir to combine. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- To prepare: run warm water around the edges of the container. Dump the chicken into the Instant Pot. Turn on the sauté function and cover with a lid (I use my Instant Pot slow cooker lid, but you can cover it with any 10-inch pot lid). Cook for 10 minutes.
- Turn the Instant Pot off. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of water. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the vent to sealing. Cook the chicken on high pressure for 20 minutes. When the time is up, turn the Instant Pot off and quick release the pressure.
- Use 2 forks to shred the taco meat. Serve with taco ingredients.
Notes
If you prefer not to freeze this meal, just place all ingredients into the Instant Pot, cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, then quick release the pressure and shred the chicken.
