Easy Instant Pot Beef Tacos








Easy Instant Pot Beef Tacos

This has turned into a family favorite.  Sometimes our younger kids just eat the beef.  We are using premade taco shells, but you can use soft tortillas, or make nachos whatever you want.  If you don’t have an Instant Pot, just go get one.  It will make your life so much easier.  Sometimes we don’t have our whole lives planned out and decide what to have for dinner 30 minutes before we plan on eating.  Can’t do that with a crock pot. 

 

Ingredients:

½ sweet onion

1 TBLS of minced garlic

2lbs of ground hamburger (I used 90-10, use what you want)

1 TBLS chili powder

½ TBLS Ground Cumin

Salt & Pepper to taste

15oz can of Tomato Sauce

Bay leaf 

Package of premade taco shells (your desired brand and quantity)

Shredded cheese

Taco sauce

Shredded lettuce

(Other taco toppings if so desired)

 

Directions:

Turn Instant Pot to Sauté

Add about 1 TBLS

Add ½ minced onion

Add 1 TBLS of minced garlic

Cooked until translucent 

(Cooking onions first before beef to make the onions not visible to those picky eaters)

Add 2lbs of ground hamburger (I used 90-10, use what you want)

Start to brown meat

Add 1 TBLS chili powder

Add ½ TBLS Ground Cumin

Add Salt & Pepper to taste

Mix together finishing browning beef

After beef is browned add 15oz can of Tomato Sauce

Mix together

Add Bay leaf or 2 on top

Put Instant Pot lid on, with sealing

Push cancel, then manual, select 22 minutes

When finished, vent manually.

Remove Bay leaf

Put taco shells in preheated 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes (this step is important, unless you are ok with stale taco shells.  For whatever reason all of these premade shells get much crispier being warmed up right before eating them.  I bought all of these different brand shells and was going to do a tast test to which one was the best.  Warming them up, solves any of that.)

Taco Boy’s- Taco Review - Tempe AZ

Image
Taco Boy’s On Rural North of Apache Blvd. 1015 S. Rural Rd, Tempe, AZ   My cousin Kelsee Recommended this one.  Thanks Kelsee! They have a location in Phoenix and the Tempe location is a newer one.  Great place, great atmosphere and busy.  Opens  at 10am  and people are outside waiting.   Everything for the most part just comes with meat on the tortilla and you can dress it how you please from their salsa bar, cilantro, onions, sauces, cabbage and so on.  I really liked that aspect of it.   The tortillas are not made in house.  They are made by a vendor, but made fresh daily.  The cashier, not sure who he is was very friendly with me asking him about the tortillas.  Not all the taco shops have been as friendly, they sometimes take great offense to being asked if they make them in house.  Taco Boy’s has some class.   I will work on asking it, as smoothly and nicely as ...

Biscuit Tacos

Biscuit Tacos Turned out so good.  I bought these taco molds from Amazon, seem to work pretty good.  Had a disaster with frying wonton wrappers, but that is a different story.   Take some buttermilk biscuits add flour and roll them out and thin as you can.  I would recommend rolled all of the ones you are going to cook at once.  I noticed the 2 I saved for later were harder to work with being out of the fridge and opened.   I put the rolled out biscuits in the taco molds.  I can imagine that you could use a wad of foil or something to make these.  I used the airfryer, for speed and I like how it cooks bread.  I cooked at 350 degrees for 7 minutes or so turning it 3 times. It may take longer depending on your airfyer or oven.   I made Pepper Gravy from Walmart or Sams.  It is pretty cheap and easy to make.  Don’t make gravy from scratch too much, because of this mix. I...

Crumbl Cookie Review 01/18/22 week of Jan 17-22

Crumbl Cookie Review 01/18/22 week of  Jan 17-22   PEANUT BUTTER FT. REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUP Our signature peanut butter cookie topped with melty peanut butter chips and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  This one the cookie was pretty peanut buttery and I liked it.  The reese’s toppings were great.   8/10   The Copycat recipe I feel tasted better than the actual crumbl. The Copycat was thinner and easier to eat chew and better texture.  Copycat recipe is from @Chahinex_tbt  https://lifestyleofafoodie.com/crumbl-peanut-butter-reeses-cookies/#recipe-link .     9/10   ROCKY ROAD A dark chocolate cookie stuffed with gooey marshmallow filling then covered in semi-sweet chocolate chips and almonds. It was very chocolaty.  The middle with the marshmallow was the best part.  If I could recreate this for myself I would have smaller marshmallows spread all around that would cook inside the cookies...
