Pressure Cooker Chicken Tinga Tostadas
  1. 1

    Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot) and choose the Saute setting. Melt the butter and cook the onions until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato sauce, and chipotle peppers. Add the chicken and stir to combine. Close and lock the lid.

  2. 2

    Select high pressure following the manufacturer's instructions; set the timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build.

  3. 3

    Release the pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to the manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Season with chili powder, cumin, and salt. Serve on tostadas with your choice of toppings.
