Provided by Camille Beckstrand

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ pounds boneless, skinles chicken breast ((I used frozen))
15 ounces canned black beans (rinsed and drained)

½ cup water

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Pour black beans, corn, salsa, and taco seasoning on top of chicken.
  • Add water to Instant Pot (pour on the side so it doesn't wash seasoning off of chicken).
  • Place the lid on top of the Instant Pot and move the valve to SEALING. Press the MANUAL (PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 25 minutes if chicken is frozen (or 18 minutes if chicken is thawed).
  • When the timer is done, do a QUICK RELEASE of the pressure.
  • Remove chicken from Instant Pot and shred with 2 forks (it should fall apart fairly easily).
  • Place chicken back into Instant Pot with salsa mixture and liquid. Mix together to incorporate the chicken.
  • Serve on top of salad, nachos, tacos, burritos, or anyway that you prefer! Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use dried black beans for the best flavor and texture. If you're using canned beans, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
  • Add some spice to your nachos with a variety of toppings. Some popular options include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and jalapeños.
  • Don't overcrowd the pressure cooker. This will prevent the nachos from cooking evenly.
  • Be careful when opening the pressure cooker. Hot steam will escape, so be sure to point the steam vent away from yourself and others.
  • Serve the nachos immediately. They're best when they're hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Pressure cooker black bean chicken nachos are a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
