How To Make Instant Pot Lentil Tacos:
Making these lentil tacos in the Instant Pot could not be easier! You can use pre-cooked lentils but you don’t have to (Instant Pot magic, I know)! Doing natural release is necessary for lentils and beans so don’t try and rush that portion!! I use the 6 quart Instant Pot Duo to make my recipes but you can check out how to configure the recipe to other models here.
- Place all ingredients in your Instant Pot and give everything a good stir.
- Select the “Soup/Chili” setting, it’ll automatically set for 12 minutes. (If the lentils are pre-cooked you can select 5 minutes.)
- Seal and allow to naturally release.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving with optional garnishes of Greek yogurt, cheese and cilantro.
