❤️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe: This flavorful pork stew comes together in one pot with minimal hands-on time, so you can do other things while dinner cooks itself. 

My family first found this pork and hominy stew in a slow-cooker issue of Martha Stewart Magazine in 2013, and I adapted it for our family’s tastes and to make it in a pressure cooker.

It has been a family favorite ever since!

Since I make this hearty pork stew all winter long, I’ve updated the post with new photos and tips to help you make it at home!

This is one of my family’s favorite Instant Pot Soups!

If I’m feeling fancy and have the time, I’ll serve it with my Green Chile Cornbread. Otherwise, we stick to tortilla chips. 😊

❤️ Why You’ll Love This Recipe: These fish tacos have a refreshing citrus flavor with a hint of spice. The cabbage slaw is crunchy and fresh and aside from marinating, the dish comes together in under 20 minutes. 

Traditionally, Baja fish tacos are made from battered and deep-fried fish. Which, while delicious, isn’t as healthy or as practical for a weeknight meal.

We’ve taken our favorite flavors and mixed them into a quick-cooking Instant Pot meal.

❤️ While you’ll love these: This sweet pork cooks up quick and tender in your Instant Pot. Served as a tostada, you get a blockbuster combination of sweet and slightly spicy meat plus fresh vegetables and crunchy tortilla.

Café Rio is one of Utah’s top chain restaurants, and my family especially loves their Cafe Rio sweet pork barbacoa. But instead of ordering out, I like to make my own copycat version at home with my Instant Pot. 

These sweet pork tostadas are every bit as tasty as the restaurant’s! However, they’re a more manageable size and topped with any of your favorite toppings.

My family has always loved pork chile verde. It’s one of our favorite dishes from a local Mexican Restaurant in Salt Lake City that we love, Red Iguana. We actually have a copycat recipe for the Red Iguana chili verde in the Electric Pressure Cooking Cookbook

However, this new recipe for Instant Pot Chili Verde uses shredded pork instead of diced pork. It’s juicier, more flavorful and soaks up all the tasty chili verde flavors. I think you’ll love it!

Instant Pot Mexican Pinto Bean Soup (Charro Bean Soup) packs just the right amount of heat and is full of healthy protein in a rich and flavor-packed tomato-beer broth.  

overhead shot of a white dish filled with chunky charro bean soup, topped with bacon and chopped cilantro on a stone gray backgrouond, with blue corn tortilla chips, limes, and cilantro in the background.

This pinto bean soup recipe comes from a fun new cookbook written by my fellow food blogger, Karen Lee Young, which I was sent to review. It’s called The Electric Pressure Cooker Soup Cookbook and filed with 100 Fast and Flavorful Soups to make in a pressure cooker. 

Instant Pot Soups are so quick and easy, and there’s so many creative, delicious pressure cooker soup recipes in this cookbook, you’ll want to try them all.

This recipe is called Mexican-Inspired Charro Bean Soup and can be found on page 52 of the new cookbook. It’s a riff on the author’s favorite Tex-Mex soup recipe, and it packs some serious spice. 

This is my adapted version of her recipe. I added directions for a quick soak option and I mellowed out the heat for my family. I’ve noted the original ingredients if you like things spicy. Either way, it’s a warming dinner for fall or any time of year.
