Instant Pot Taco Meat Recipe:

Barbara’s family loves tacos…any kind of tacos. And, she always has plenty of beef roasts in the freezer from our cattle. She uses a chuck roast in this dish, but you can also use a shoulder or arm roast for this recipe. Unsure about the different cuts of beef? Check out this post from our friend Sarah over at Farmwife Crafts.

But if you don’t have a freezer full of beef, keep your eyes out for good deals on beef roasts and stock up – this instant pot taco beef recipe is worth it! Try our Instant Pot Hawaiian Beef if you have another beef roast waiting in the wings!

Barbara has both an Instant Pot and an electric pressure cooker and they work similarly so use either for this recipe. She loves using these to quickly cook dishes that normally take much longer in the oven or slow cooker.

For Instant Pot main dishes, check out our Sweet and Sour Pork Spareribs, Cranberry Glazed Ham, Shredded Beef Barbecue or Golden Chicken Imperial.

For side dishes in the electric pressure cooker, we have Tomato Braised Kale or Mashed Cauliflower.

What we love about this recipe is that we can serve it in tacos for dinner one night and then serve it over rice another night for two different meals!

This taco beef would also be great as a substitute for the ground beef on our Taco Salad with Homemade Dressing or our Flank Steak Salad.

How to Make Easy Instant Pot Taco Meat:

Instructions:

  1. Place the beef chuck roast into the pressure cooker vessel.
  2. In a small bowl, combine diced tomatoes, water and taco seasoning; pour over roast.
  3. Cover and seal, ensuring the venting value is closed.
  4. Pressure cook for 60 minutes. Allow the pressure to release following the natural release method.
  5. Shred or chop the meat. Use it in tacos, over rice, or on top of tortilla chips.

      While we haven’t made this specific recipe in the crock pot, cooking roasts in our slow cooker is a favorite of ours. Cook on low for 8 hours and you should be good.
