Instant Pot® Chicken Tinga
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced into petals
- 3 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
- 6 canned chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, finely chopped
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 tostada shells
Steps
- Switch on a multi-functional pressure cooker, such as Instant Pot, and choose the Sauté function. Add the olive oil and onions and cook for about 2 minutes, until the onions soften. Switch off Sauté, then add the chicken, oregano, chipotle peppers, tomatoes, and salt.
- Following the manufacturer's instructions, select High pressure and set the timer for 15 minutes. Let pressure build for 10 minutes.
- Use the natural-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions for about 10 minutes, then unlock and take off the lid.
- Put the chicken on a cutting board and let cool for 10 minutes. Shred it, return it to the pot, and stir to combine. Use a slotted spoon to serve the chicken tinga on the tostadas immediately.
