Last but not least HERE is the Instant Pot I have and LOVE!

For this recipe you will need:

Soup

  • 2 medium chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 16 ounce cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 16 ounce cans black beans, drained (I make my own)
  • 1 can refried beans (I make my own)
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 4 chicken boullion cubes
  • 4 cups water
  • 3 Tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 Tablespoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • tortilla chips for topping

Toppings:

Top with whatever you like, but these are our favorites

  • my zesty pico de gallo – find the recipe HERE
  • diced avocado
  • shredded Mexican cheese
  • sour cream
  • cilantro

Directions:

Put all ingredients except the tortilla chips and the toppings listed into a pan or crock pot and allow to simmer for at least 4 hours on the stove to allow all the flavors to meld together. After 4 hours, shred chicken – read about how to shred chicken in a flash HERE.

***If using a crock pot, put everything into the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours. Then, shred your chicken using this trick and cook on low for two more hours. You can also cook on low the whole time for 9 hours.

***If using your Instant Pot, put the same ingredients in your pot, close the steam valve, and cook for 40 minutes.
