Instant Pot Amazing Street Tacos

I can’t believe how easy this recipe is! I threw everything into the pot (prep time is about 5 minutes) and went outside to do yardwork for a couple of hours. When I came back in the house I shredded up the meat and got out the toppings and dinner was being consumed within 10 minutes. This is a perfect recipe for a busy day. The meat is so tender and shreddable. The juices in the pot season it soooo well and the flavor is so yummy.

Grocery prices are high right now! So I found the cheapest roast I could find. It happened to be a rump roast. It cooks awesome in the slow cooker and Instant Pot as long as you give it enough time. If it’s still tough, you need more cooking time. Always use a natural pressure release for roasts in the Instant Pot to keep the meat tender.

This meat can be used for other meal ideas besides tacos. Try serving it on salad, in burritos, on quesadillas, etc. It’s just really flavorful meat that I think you’re really going to love!

Ingredients/Substitution Ideas

• Beef broth–or water and Better than Bouillon Beef Base
• Low sodium soy sauce–so it’s not too salty
• Fresh lime juice–I like to buy a big bag of limes, juice them* and freeze into ice cubes for recipes like this one.
• Canola–or vegetable oil
• Minced garlic–or 1 tsp garlic powder
• Chili powder
• Cumin
• Dried oregano
• Rump roast–or trimmed chuck roast. I used a 2.4 pound rump roast and then trimmed off the fat cap
• Mini street taco flour tortillas–or corn tortillas
• Red onion
• Cilantro
• Lime
• Sour cream

Steps

1. Add ingredients into pot: Add broth, soy sauce, lime juice, oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano into Instant Pot and stir. Add in the roast and turn to coat. 
   
2. Pressure cook: Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 75 minutes on high pressure. When time is up let the pot sit for 15-20 minutes, or until pressure releases naturally on its own. Don’t use a quick release for roasts. They’ll turn into tough pieces of meat. Use as long of a natural release as you can. Remove the lid.
3. Shred meat: Move roast to a cutting board and shred. Stir the shredded meat back into the juices in the Instant Pot. 
4. Serve: When ready to serve use tongs to move some of the meat to the middle of a tortilla. Top with cilantro, red onions, sour cream  and a squeeze of fresh lime. Eat and enjoy!

Notes/Tips

• Pico de gallo would taste amazing on these tacos.
• If you want a heartier meal then serve alongside some black beans and Mexican rice.
• I used my 6 quart Instant Pot*. You can also make this in a 3 or an 8 quart pot.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container* in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
• This recipe can be gluten-free. Check your sodium sauce to make sure it’s gluten free. Serve on corn tortillas instead of flour.
• To make a low carb meal use low carb tortillas or wrap up meat in a lettuce leave.
• Other recipes you can make with red onions are Instant Pot Bowl O’ Red, Instant Pot Greek Chicken Potato Bowls and Instant Pot Olive Garden Chicken Scampi.
