Ingredients

Toppings

Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté onions and garlic in instant pot for 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add taco mix, salt, and the 2 chicken breasts for another minute or 2 to get a bit of color.

  3. 3

    Add 1 can tomato, 1 can beans, water, more salt and spiciness (I added jalapeño). Cover and manually high pressure for 13 minutes.

  4. 4

    Release and shred chicken with 2 forks into strands while the rest is in sauté mode — add frozen corn.

  5. 5

    Taste for salt spice. If the broth is too watery, mix a spoonful of flour with some broth in a separate little bowl until it’s mixed well (you don’t want it clumpy!) and add this mixture to the soup and mix well.

  6. 6

    Squeeze an entire lime or lemon juice in the soup.

  7. 7

    For toppings add: lots of crumbled tortilla chips, spoonful yogurt, some pickled onions and avocado.
