Notes
Let the Instant Pot pressurize: Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to increase before the cooking process starts.
Meal prep chicken tacos: Keep the cooked chicken mixture in an airtight container in the fridge, the washed, dried romaine lettuce leaves in a gallon Ziploc bag in the fridge, and the toppings either pre-cut or you can prep them just before serving. That way, you can have lunch or dinner ready in 5 minutes!
Make a taco station: It can be fun to serve all the toppings separately so everyone can add their own. This is also fun if you have guests over.
Keto-friendly: Use keto-friendly taco seasoning and salsa if desired.
