A fast and flavorful taco recipe made in the Instant Pot, perfect for busy weeknights. Ready in just 5 minutes of cooking time, this recipe delivers juicy, seasoned meat with simple ingredients and minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (about 1 oz / 28 g)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas, warmed
  • Toppings of your choice: shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, avocado or guacamole

Instructions

  1. Turn on the Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode. Add about 1 tablespoon of oil and let it heat for 1 minute.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent and fragrant, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
  4. Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula. Cook until mostly browned, about 4 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over the meat, then pour in the beef broth. Stir well to combine.
  6. Cancel the ‘Sauté’ mode. Secure the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing, and select ‘Pressure Cook’ or ‘Manual’ for 5 minutes.
  7. When cooking finishes, perform a quick release by carefully turning the valve to venting.
  8. Open the lid and stir the meat. If there’s excess liquid, turn back to ‘Sauté’ for 1-2 minutes to reduce it.
  9. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.
  10. Assemble tacos with meat and your favorite toppings. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you get a ‘burn’ notice, cancel and stir well to release stuck bits. Adding broth before pressure cooking helps prevent this. Browning the meat before pressure cooking builds flavor. Adjust seasoning after cooking if needed by adding sugar or lime juice. Warm tortillas just before serving for best taste.
