Made this yesterday for dinner. With only 4 ingredients and no chopping or prep required, this is ridiculously easy to make but still very flavorful. We served ours on toasted corn tortillas with some pickled red onion and sour cream. This will absolutely be in our regular rotation from now on!

My family loves this it was super simple and turned out delicious… I used 1 cup of cilantro lime salsa and 1 cup chunky mild salsa AMAZING!

An absolute staple in my meal prep routine. Could not be easier and works great in so many different meals!

Easy, delicious and versatile. We made tacos on the first night and taco salads with the leftovers. This is going into meal plan rotation!

I've made this several times and my SUPER picky boyfriend really likes it.  My Instant Pot seems to cook hot so it never takes this long but then again, I don't cook it long enough to shred....he just eats it along side rice and green beans.  Highly recommend....it's easy and normally, ya got chicken and salsa on hand!
