I was ill-prepared for Taco Tuesday and Evie was not happy that she might miss a taco night. So I grabbed some ground beef from the freezer and thawed it in the microwave. Then cooked/seasoning it in the Instant Pot.

Now onto the shells. I usually use slices of provolone cheese to make crunchy shells, but I was out. So I finely grated mozzarella, made little circles (1 - 1.5 oz) of cheese on parchment and microwaved for 1 minute. Using the sides of the parchment, lift up, and hold in place for about 10 seconds until the cheese firms up. I think I like the mozzarella version even better!

The kids had a taco, a second mound of taco meat with toppings (not pictured on my plate), and riced cauliflower. Taco Tuesday crisis averted and a low carb, filling dinner done quickly. I even threw in a low carb margarita for me for averting said crisis. 😉
Looks great! What's your method for cooking the taconmeatin the IP?
ReplyDeleteI use the saute feature to first brown the meat. Then I add all my seasonings and about a cup of chicken or beef broth. Then I pressure cook for 15 minutes on Manual. Release the steam and put it on saute again just long enough to cook away any remaining juices. (I like my taco meat pretty dry... if you like it moist/wet, you could omit the last saute step.) Super easy and don't have to watch it much!
