PRESSURE COOKER CHIPOTLE-HONEY CHICKEN TACOS



Pressure Cooker Chipotle-Honey Chicken Tacos image

If you have an electric pressure cooker, you can throw together a big batch of spicy chicken and black bean tacos in about 30 minutes. Smoky canned chipotles in adobo and honey do most of the heavy lifting here, combining to create a glossy, spicy-sweet sauce. Chipotles can pack varying levels of heat, so if you want your tacos on the milder side, use only one or two peppers. You can always drizzle with hot sauce at the table. The pickled onions are not absolutely necessary, but they add acidity and crunch that contrast nicely with the spicy shredded chicken. (Get the slow cooker version of this recipe here.)

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 to 4 canned chipotles in adobo, finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional as needed
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 lime, juiced
Warmed tortillas, for serving
Pickled onion, for serving (see Tip)
Sliced or cubed avocado, for serving

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken, chipotles and adobo sauce, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and cumin in an electric pressure cooker. Stir well. Cover and set steam valve to sealed position. Cook on high pressure for 13 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; then release the remaining pressure manually. Open the lid.
  • Remove the chicken to a bowl or cutting board using tongs. Shred the chicken with two forks. If you'd like to reduce the sauce, set to sauté and simmer, 5 minutes. Add the chicken back into the pot.
  • Stir in the black beans and a squeeze of lime juice, set to sauté and let the beans warm through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and add more salt or lime juice if necessary. Serve in tortillas with pickled onions and avocado.
