The weather has been getting cooler and up here in Vancouver, very rainy. That means lots of meals made in our Instant Pot either as a slow cooker when we have time or using the much more loved pressure cooker function. A few weeks ago, we made our Colorado Green Chile using the pressure cooker option. It’s really an amazing dish and we definitely plan to make it more often but these Green Chile Breakfast Tacos is a super simple thing to make with the leftovers.
Easy and Quick Green Chile Breakfast Tacos Click To TweetThere’s no arguing we’ve admittedly been taco obsessed recently. It started back in May when our friends at Siete Foods had us over for an amazing dinner while we were in Austin for Paleo f(x) and it really ramped up in the last couple months or so which led to our Vietnamese Street Tacos recipe. There’s just something inherently great about making tacos. They’re simple to do and there’s endless flavor combinations you can employ so it’s tough to get bored with them.
These green chile breakfast tacos are amazing. And because we used the instant pot, they were done in a fraction of the time as the traditional method for making green chile. Who doesn’t like having extra time? Give these tacos a try and let us know what you think!
