Don’t miss out on yummy floury tortillas packed with meaty pulled pork, vegetables, and queso fresco just because you’re busy! Grab your pressure cooker around an hour before you want to eat and quickly add in your pork pieces, seasoning them as you go. Brown them for about 2-3 minutes before chopping jalapeño chilies, green pepper, tomatoes, garlic, and onion. Pop them in the cooker with your herbs and spices, then pour over the chicken broth and set it for fifty five minutes at high pressure. Remove the pulled pork mixture, adding your broth to a blender to form a delicious chicken based puree. Shred all the meat, combine it with a green chili sauce. Spoon everything onto the tortilla, drizzle with ranch, or blue cheese dressing, add crumbled queso fresco, slices of red onion- roll up and serve!

Pour 1/12 cups of milk plus sugar into the cooker and stir in before adding combined eggs and the remaining vanilla mixture. Sieve it through into the pot and then cook, stirring constantly, till it starts boiling. Take it off the heat and stir in the dried cranberries as the rice pudding thickens. Pop some whipped cream and a sprinkle of grated cinnamon on top of each pudding bowl, then serve warm or chilled for a lovely cold creamy dessert.

Three simple and delicious recipe ideas that cook up in no time with your pressure cooker! There are so many recipes that you can adapt to use in your Instant Pot that you will be able to have a healthy and home-cooked meal on the table in 60 minutes or less.
