Dice onion

Set the Instant Pot to saute function and brown the onions and beef cubes in one tablespoon of oil.

When the beef has developed some nice brown bits, add the soy sauce and ½ cup water.

Set to high pressure for 35 minutes.

Manually release pressure.

Remove beef and set in a separate dish. Boil remaining sauce using the Instant Pot’s saute function until reduced and thickened.

Serve sauce and meat over rice (*can use microwaveable rice or make your own) or mashed potatoes.

Dice onion.

Using 6 qt Instant Pot, turn on to sauté mode on normal heat.

Heat olive oil and sauté onions until translucent, 3 minutes.

Press CANCEL to turn off Instant Pot.

Add broth and brown rice to the pot and mix with onions.

Stir in frozen carrots, frozen peas, frozen corn, turmeric, saffron, oregano, bay leaf and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. IMPORTANT: Stir the rice and veggies to make sure to fully incorporate vegetables with the rice.

Arrange chicken breasts on top of rice mixture; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Push chicken down into the rice with some veggies on top of the chicken.

Secure lid on Instant Pot, and turn nozzle to seal.

Cook on manual setting with high pressure for 25 minutes.

NOTE: It takes 15 minutes for this dish to reach pressure!

Once time is up, allow pressure to go into “keep warm” mode for 10 minutes to allow the pressure to release some naturally. Then press cancel on the Instant Pot and twist the steam release handle on the lid to the venting position.

Once steam has released, open Instant Pot lid to shred the chicken and gently fluff into the rice mixture with a fork.

Carefully remove the inner pot to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.

Cut onion and bell pepper into strips

Place chicken in the bottom of 6 quart electric pressure cooker and sprinkle with taco seasoning.

Top with tomatoes, garlic, peppers, onion and lime juice.

Lock lid into place and set valve to seal.

Set on Poultry setting (or Manual on High Pressure) for 8 minutes.

Use Quick Release after cooking and serve with a slotted spoon onto tortillas, topping with garnish of choice.

Chop bell peppers.

Place all ingredients except red peppers in the Instant Pot. Cook for 3 minutes (manual).

Release steam immediately. If you get splatter, pause, or cover with a towel.

After: Mix in the red bell peppers and toss very gently, adding a little more water or oil as needed (it will be very sticky).
