NOTES:
To prepare the chicken, cook them in an instant pot. For this recipe, I used 4 pieces of thawed chicken breasts and slice them into little pieces. Then, add the pieces of chicken to the IP along with half a cup of chicken broth, 2 tbsp taco seasoning, 1 tsp cumin, and 1 tbsp chilli powder. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. When done, instantly release the pressure and shred the chicken.
Or you may opt to use canned chicken, rotisserie chicken, or any fully cooked shredded chicken.
