As I mentioned in one my earlier posts, I really like cooking using Instant Pot. There are so many great things about using Instant Pot, including making cooking much easier, and cooking dishes that take hours and hours to cook much faster.
One of the dishes that now take me much less time to cook are beef tacos. As I use tough beef roast for beef tacos, it usually took me hours to cook. It takes much less time to make the taco meat in the Instant Pot, and the best thing is, I don’t have to watch it! I can set everything up, and have the taco meat cook, while I cook other dishes!
What kind of beef roast can you use for making Instant Pot Shredded Beef Tacos? I usually use the one that is on sale at the grocery store that week! As I mentioned in the Grocery Shopping on a Budget Article, one of the best ways to save money on groceries is by shopping the sales. When you see a beef roast on sale at a good price, that is a great time to make Instant Pot Shredded Beef Tacos!
For this particular recipe, I am using the beef chuck roast, but you can use sirloin tip roast or other beef roasts, your beef tacos recipe will come out great as well! And make sure to use Fajitas Seasoning Mix on the beef, to add even more flavor!
Once you make the beef taco meat in the Instant Pot, and shred the beef, you are ready to make your delicious shredded beef tacos! All you need to do now is to decide what toppings you would like to use on your tacos.
To make the shredded beef tacos healthy and good for you, we like to add lots of fresh veggies, such as onions, radishes, and avocados. We also add refried beans — I make my own refried beans using this easy Refried Beans Recipe, it is easy to make, delicious and I use all the clean, good ingredients. And, if you are starting with dry beans, you can make them in the Instant Pot as well!

How To Make Instant Pot Beef Tacos
Set the Instant Pot to Saute. Add a tablespoon of oil. Dry the beef roast with paper towels, and salt it.
Saute the beef roast in the Instant Pot on both sides, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Remove the roast from the pot. Add another tablespoon of oil to the Instant Pot, add the onions and saute for a few minutes. Add the pepper flakes and oregano and mix with the onions.
Add the beef roast back to the Instant Pot and add the water or stock. Add a bit more water or stock, so that the roast is almost completely covered.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot, use the manual setting, and cook for 90 minutes. Use Natural Release, and wait for the valve to drop. Carefully open the lid and carefully remove the meat to a platter or a cutting board. Shred the meat with two forks, and use the meat in tacos!
