instructions

  • Set Instant Pot to Saute and add oil. Once hot, add onion and pepper. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and spices. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Stir in chicken, beans, chiles, tomatoes, and stock.
  • Set Instant Pot to Manual. Cook for 10 minutes on High pressure, then quick release pressure.
  • Using tongs, remove chicken to a cutting board. Shred using two forks and return to the soup. Stir until combined.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper, as desired. I personally like to use 1/2 tsp of each.
  • Serve immediately with toppings.
