Delicious beef stuffed tacos made effortlessly in the Instant Pot…
Tacos are Mexican appetizer, hard tacos stuffed with beef, veggies & cheese. This will make a perfect appetizer or snack for any party & can be whipped up in less than 20 minutes.
I’ve cooked the ground beef in the Instant Pot for just 10 minutes and topped the hard tacos with beef, veggies, salsa, pickled jalapenos, olives & cheese. I then baked the stuffed tacos in the Instant Pot air fryer for 5 minutes till the cheese has melted.
Easy to make & absolutely delicious beef tacos.
