Instant Pot Taco Meat

Cook Time 3 minutes
Total Time 3 minutes

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 lb of lean Ground beef ground turkey, or ground chicken
  • ½ diced Yellow onion about 1 cup
  • ½ cup Tomato sauce can substitute with 2 tablespoons of tomato paste mixed with ⅓ cup water

Instructions

  • Place the ground meat into the Instant Pot insert, and break up the meat into small chunks (I like using a wooden spoon for this).
  • Dump in the remaining ingredients (except for the oil), and mix it up a bit to combine.
  • Close the lid, and set the valve to "sealing."
  • Turn the Instant Pot on “Manual” mode for 3 minutes (or pressure cook on “HIGH”).
  • Once the cook time is complete, do a "quick release" and wait for the pin to drop before opening.
  • Remove the lid, and set the "Sauté" function on HIGH. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until most of the liquid has cooked down and the meat is fully cooked. (Mix and crumble up the meat with a potato masher, or wooden spoon as it cooks.)
  • Ready to serve! (See blog post for more tips/notes for Instant Pot method and for cooking larger portions.)
  • Enjoy!

Notes

When removing the lid after cooking, the underside will have about 1/3 of a cup of VERY HOT condensed liquid, so keep the lid level until it's over the sink before tilting to one side to let it drain.
