Instant Pot Carne Asada Street Tacos

I miss Texas, I really do. Everything is bigger and better in Texas, but the Mexican food in Texas is something that I probably miss the most. Oh, and Whataburger.

This Instant Pot carne asada to put inside of a street taco sure did satisfy my hankering for some good Mexican food in a flash!

Though this recipe is for an Instant Pot, you could place inside a slow cooker and cook on low for about 8 hours!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds small stewed beef pieces
• 4 limes, 3 for juicing
• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• corn tortillas, for serving

Instructions

1. Place the beef into the insert of the Instant Pot. Add half of the diced onion over the top of the meat, then sprinkle the salt, garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper over the top. Squeeze 3 of the limes over the top of the meat and add half of the bunch of chopped cilantro. Stir well.
2. Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set to pressure cook on high for 20 minutes. Release pressure on the Instant Pot once the time is up.
3. To serve: inside of a lightly fried corn tortilla, place meat, diced onion, and some chopped cilantro. Serve with a lime wedge. Enjoy!
