Chipotle Garlic Pressure Cooker Shredded Beef is a delicious Instant Pot recipe perfect for spicing up the meat in your tacos or burritos. 
Chipotle Garlic Pressure Cooker Shredded Beef
This winter I was hosting my twins’ first birthday party and I decided to keep things relatively simple with a ‘Build Your Own Burritos & Bowls Bar’. We baked some chicken with taco seasoning as well as adding in all the fixings like cilantro lime rice, beans, pico de gallo, guacamole and so much more. I wanted to have a second meat option, but didn’t want some boring shredded beef. I spiced things up with this Chipotle Garlic Pressure Cooker Shredded Beef and made it quick and easy in the Instant Pot which was a win win!
Instant Pot Shredded Beef
Not only is the Instant Pot great for easy weeknight dinners, it is such a great kitchen appliance when it comes to prepping for parties. You can open up room on your stove top and let your meat pressure cook while you are making all the other food. To make this Chipotle Garlic Pressure Cooker Shredded Beef, turn your Instant Pot to saute, add in some oil and sear the meat. Once you brown the meat a little, toss in a few ingredients and you can set it and forget it. Kind of like a Crock Pot, but without having to plan 8 hours in advance!
Shredded Beef Recipe Pressure Cooker
I typically use chipotles in adobo sauce when making a recipes like this Chipotle Ranch Dip. Last time I was grocery shopping I accidentally bought a can of Chipotle Sauce in the Mexican section instead of chipotles in adobo. I decided to pop it open and give it a try. It has a slight sweetness to it and still packs a good punch of flavor. Instead of having to chop up the whole chipotles you can just toss the can in with your beef along with the other simple ingredients.
