Notes
When making this recipe, I only had 3 tablespoons of chili powder, so I grabbed my cumin and used 1 tablespoon of it. The flavor was awesome. However, I know the flavor of this recipe is good with only using chili powder as well, so you can choose what you prefer!
We used a 6 quart Instant Pot to make this recipe. Using an electric pressure cooker is a great convenience in the kitchen, but ALWAYS follow your manufacturer’s recommendations for safety.
If using a smaller pot, you may need to reduce the recipe to avoid overflow. If using a larger pot, you may need to add additional liquid.
Also, DO NOT EVER cover the vent of your electric pressure cooker.

As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.
