Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients
  

FOR THE INSTANT POT

  • 8 Chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo Wing Sauce

COLE SLAW MIX

  • 1 Bag of cole slaw mix
  • 3 Tbsp Ranch (I just kind of eyeball this)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1-2 Tbsp Buffalo Sauce

FOR THE TACOS

  • Tortillas
  • Cilantro
  • Avocado
  • Ranch

Instructions
 

  • Place chicken thighs in the instant pot with the onion powder, salt, pepper, and buffalo sauce.
  • Cook on high pressure (or manual) in the sealing position for 25 minutes.
  • Once done, release the steam. Leave the chicken in the pot and shred it with two forks.
  • Take the chicken out with some tongs or a slotted spoon and spread it on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Then take some spoonfuls of the juice from the instant pot and drizzle it all over the chicken.
  • Broil it in the oven for a few minutes on high or until some pieces of the chicken start to look crispy.
  • Take the chicken out and assemble your tacos. I like to heat the tortillas on a pan first. Fill your taco with the chicken, coleslaw, avocado, and cilantro. In no particular oder. Then drizzle with extra ranch or buffalo sauce if desired.
  • Enjoy!
