These easy Instant Pot Tacos<\/strong> are packed with flavorful ground beef and kid-approved seasonings. Best of all, they’re ready in under 30 minutes<\/strong> thanks to your pressure cooker. Say hello to your new favorite weeknight dinner!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hi all, Jenn here! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tacos are on a weekly rotation at my house. Sometimes, it’s chicken tacos<\/a>, sometimes pork carnitas<\/a>, and sometimes these awesome ground beef tacos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I love this recipe for its delicious flavors, of course. But even better, it\u2019s a quick, one-pot, dump-and-go meal<\/strong>. All you need is some ground beef and a few flavorful seasonings that are probably already in your spice cabinet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u23f2\ufe0f Whether you have fresh or frozen ground beef, you\u2019re less than 30 minutes away from a filling meal that your family will love!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n This Instant Pot Taco Meat recipe<\/strong> will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tacos are one of the easiest meals to whip up in your pressure cooker or Instant Pot! <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\uded1 After the quick release, the beef will not be fully cooked! <\/strong>This is intentional to avoid the burn notice and get fully flavored, perfectly cooked taco meat! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This recipe cooks at high pressure to cook the meat, and then uses the Saute function to break up the meat and evaporate any remaining liquid. I like to use my OXO meat chopping tool<\/a> to easily separate the meat inside my Instant Pot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A month or two ago, my son told me, “Mom, I wish your tacos were as good as Taco Bell Tacos.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Um, what?! Challenge accepted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’d researched a few copycat recipes, and they all pointed to the same secret ingredient: granulated beef bouillon<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It makes a HUGE difference and really kicks up the beefy flavor of the tacos! <\/p>\n\n\n\n And, I can officially tell you that my son has decided this recipe is “WAY better than Taco Bell tacos.” <\/strong>(I agree!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83c\udf36\ufe0f The taco seasonings in this recipe are mild and kid-approved.<\/strong> If you like it spicy, I highly recommend doubling the chili powder or adding crushed chili pepper flakes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re using frozen ground beef, you’ll have best results with beef that is frozen in completely flat. (A misshapen frozen piece of meat won\u2019t cook evenly.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your beef is frozen flat, the only difference between cooking these tacos with frozen vs. fresh beef is an extra 2 minutes of cook time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udca1 Tip: <\/strong>If your ground beef comes larger packages, weigh out 1 pound portions and freeze them flat in ziplock bags for Instant Pot ground beef recipes like this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to serving this quick and easy dinner, the possibilities are endless. I’ll toss on whatever we have on hand. Some ideas: <\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite sides for Instant Pot tacos<\/strong> are my pressure cooker cilantro lime rice<\/a> or my easy Instant Pot Spanish Rice<\/a>. When I cook it, I freeze the leftovers in individual portions for future lunches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Who says you need to wait for Tuesday to have a taco party? <\/strong>With this easy recipe for Instant Pot ground beef tacos, you’ll find yourself serving tacos all week long. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
