Easy Pressure Cooker Chicken Chipotle Tacos

If you need an easy dinner that tastes like you did way more work than you actually did, these easy pressure cooker chicken chipotle tacos are perfect. This is one of those meals where you throw a few ingredients into the pressure cooker, make a couple easy sides, and suddenly dinner looks like you had your life together the whole time. Calm down, Barbara, we love an easy night. For this recipe, I used two chicken breasts, one Chicken Chipotle Bomb, and a little chicken broth. That is it for the chicken. The pressure cooker does the work and turns everything into tender, flavorful shredded chipotle chicken that is perfect for tacos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, nachos, taco salads, or just serving over rice. If you do not have a pressure cooker, you could also make this in a slow cooker. It will just take longer, but it is still an easy dinner option. While the chicken cooks, I made cheesy Mexican rice and refried beans on the side to turn this into a full taco night situation. You can follow the package directions for both and keep dinner super simple. Once the chicken is done, shred it right in the pressure cooker, pile it into tortillas, and add whatever toppings your heart desires. I used chopped onions, sour cream, taco cheese, taco sauce, and cilantro. You could also add salsa, avocado, jalapeños, lettuce, lime juice, hot sauce, or whatever you already have in the fridge. This is very much a “use what you have” dinner, and sometimes those are the best ones. These chicken chipotle tacos are great for busy weeknights, taco night, meal prep, or anytime you want something quick but flavorful. The Chicken Chipotle Bomb adds smoky, saucy chipotle flavor without needing a bunch of extra seasonings, and the pressure cooker keeps everything fast and easy. Serve the tacos with cheesy Mexican rice and refried beans, and you have a full dinner that feels comforting, filling, and so good. If you are looking for easy pressure cooker chicken tacos, chipotle chicken tacos, shredded chicken tacos, Chicken Chipotle Bomb recipes, or a quick weeknight taco dinner, make this and thank me later.
