Cooking Instructions

  1. 1
    ADD

    Turn on your Instant Pot® and select the Sauté function. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat.

    • Oil

  2. 2
    ADD

    Add the ground beef and diced onion and cook until the beef is browned through, about 5-10 minutes. Stir frequently (lid off). Once browned, tip the beef into a colander or onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess grease and return the beef to the pot.

    • Beef

    • Onion

  3. 3
    STIR

    Add the taco seasoning, mixing well to combine. Stir in the remaining ingredients, adding the water last and filling to about the 1/2 fill line.

    • Taco Seasoning

    • Ground Beef

    • Onion

    • Pinto Beans

    • Corn

    • Tomato Sauce

    • Diced Tomatoes

    • Green Chiles

    • Water

  4. 4
    COOK

    Cancel Sauté mode and close and lock the lid following manufacturer instructions to seal. Select Pressure Cook, make sure pressure is set to High and set the cook timer for 3 minutes. Once the Instant Pot® pressurizes (allow 15 to 20 minutes) the cook timer will start.

    • 5
      COOL

      When the cook time is finished, leave your Instant Pot® alone for about 15 more minutes to allow the soup to cool a bit. This will help prevent hot broth from escaping when you go to release the pressure!
