Pressure-Cooker Tequila Salsa Chicken image

I had this dish at a local Mexican restaurant when celebrating a friend's birthday. I fell in love with the spicy, smoky flavor from the tequila and decided to try Instant Pot salsa chicken at home. Boy, was it a success! It's also great stuffed into flour tortillas or for making nachos. —Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I only used a little bit of the salsa. It was still plenty flavorful.

I wasn't sure how the tequila would taste in the salsa, but it was actually really good. It added a nice depth of flavor.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and added a can of black beans to the salsa.
