Instructions

6 steps · tick them off as you cook
  1. Whisk broth, tomato paste, chipotle, cumin, oregano and lime juice in the pot until smooth.

  2. Nestle 2 lb chicken thighs into the sauce and turn to coat.

  3. Seal the lid and pressure-cook on High for 12 minutes.

    12 minutes
  4. Let pressure release naturally for 8 minutes, then quick-release remaining steam.

    8 minutes
  5. Shred the chicken with two forks directly in the sauce until glossy and saucy.

  6. Taste, brighten with extra lime and pile into tortillas.

Chef's tip

After shredding, switch to Sauté for 3–4 minutes to reduce the sauce so it clings to the chicken instead of soaking the tortillas.

Suggested pairing

Pair with a crisp Mexican lager and a squeeze of lime.
