Instant Pot Chicken Taco Pie
Instant Pot Chicken Taco Pie is a fun dish to make, and uses ingredients most of us have already. I like to make this using a rotisserie chicken, or leftover cooked chicken meat. It’s tasty and my family loves it!
Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Water (for the pressure cooker)
- 1 small whole Rotisserie Chicken, (or other cooked chicken) deboned, skinless & shredded (about 3 cups of meat or so)
- 1 can Refried Beans
- ¼ cup Salsa
- 2 Tbsp Diced Green Chiles
- 1 Tbsp Taco Seaoning
- 1-2 cups Pepper Jack Cheese, shredded (or Monterey Jack) plus extra for the top layer
- 1-2 cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded (plus extra for the top layer)
- (4) 8 inch Flour Tortillas (if using 7 inch pan)
Garnishes (choose your favorite)
- Sour Cream
- Salsa
- Cilantro
- Avocado
- Hot Sauce
Tools You Will Need
- 6 qt or 8 qt pressure cooker (if using 8 qt, increase the water to 2 cups)
- The trivet with handles that came with the pot
- 7x3 inch Push Pan or Springform Pan (2.5 inch is okay, but it will make a smaller amount)
- Cooking Spray
- Aluminum Foil
Instructions
- Gather and prepare everything you will need. Prepare the rotisserie chicken, or other cooked chicken, shred the cheese, spray the pan with cooking spray.etc.
- Add the water to the pressure cooker's removable inner pot/liner.
- Set the pot to the Sauté setting. This will start the water heating up, which will bring the pot to pressure faster.
- In a small bowl, mix the can of refried beans with the salsa, green chiles, and *taco seasoning.
- Place a tortilla in the pan and press it down (it will be slightly bigger than the pan, and that's okay).
- Spread on 1/3 of the bean mixture, then 1/3 of the shredded chicken, and 1/3 of the cheese.
- Place another tortilla in the pan and press it down. Spread on 1/3 of the bean mixture, then 1/3 of the shredded chicken, and 1/3 of the cheese.
- Place a third tortilla in the pan and press it down. Spread on 1/3 of the bean mixture, then 1/3 of the shredded chicken, and 1/3 of the cheese.
- Place a fourth tortilla in the pan and press it down. Nothing goes on top of this layer yet.
- Wrap a piece of foil over the top and crimp it around the edges (you don't want the inside to get wet).
- Set the pan on the trivet and use the handles to carefully lower it into the pot.
- Cancel the Sauté setting. Place the lid on the pot and set the knob to the sealing position.
- Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button, or dial, and then the + or - button or dial to select 20 minutes.
- When the cook cycle ends, do a Quick Release of the pressure and when the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and use silicone mitts to very carefully remove the trivet/pan.
- Carefully remove the foil and sprinkle on the remaining cheese.
- Turn on the broiler to 400° and set the pan under it and broil until the cheese melts.
- Let sit for just a few minutes to cool a bit and set up. Then remove from the pan and serve.
- Garnish with sour cream, avocado, salsa, cilantro, hot sauce, or whatever you like and serve!
