Whether there is a chill in the air or it’s warm spring evening, your Instant Pot can be the best companion in the kitchen, especially when it’s time to prepare these delightful Chicken Pozole Tacos.

Tacos always seem to please people, and even more so when it’s a build-your-own kind of situation at mealtime.  Big chunks of boneless chicken breast are sauteed with a leek or an onion, and seasoned with some pantry spices for a quick-fix on taco night.  I know Tuesdays are usually that special day — but why hold it to just one evening?  Tacos make a great gathering food that is cost effective and just plain tasty.

Hominy is one of those ingredients that many people overlook and pack some serious texture, and bond with chicken is such a delightful way.  I know pozole is a Mexican stew, but I thought it would be delicious in taco form too.  Don’t skip on the condiments either because I good taco always has a few extra things that make it even more special.  So invite some friends and make this easy recipe tonight.
