  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup salsa of choice

Instructions

  • 1. Heat oil and sauté veggies for about 4 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • 2. Add in the meat and cook for 2-3 minutes until browned.
  • 3. Add in spices and mix to combine. Add in the salsa.
  • 4. Seal the lid and then cook under high pressure for 15 minutes.

Notes

Taco fixin' ideas: grain-free tortillas, lettuce, tomato, cheese, jalapeños, scallions, avocado, cilantro, lime.
Note: If your meat is very fatty, you may want to drain it before adding the spices and salsa.
Make it in the slower cooker: In a skillet, sauté veggies and brown the meat. Add everything into your slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours.
