Instructions

  1. Turn Instant Pot to sauté setting. When display says HOT add in the ground beef and break it up. Add in the dried onion and taco seasoning. Brown for about 5 minutes. Taste test and add more seasoning, if needed. Taco seasonings have different potencies.

Notes

You can also finish this dish off in the Instant Pot (instead of the oven) if you have an air fryer lid. Instead of layering in a baking dish layer in the Instant Pot and then bake with your air fryer lid for 5-10 minutes at 350° F.
