- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomato
- 1/2 cup water

- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 12 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese

Directions
- In your Instant Pot on “Sauté” mode, melt the butter and sauté the onion and pepper until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeño and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.Add the ground beef and brown for about 5 more minutes. Add the water, can of tomato, and spices. Cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Place the beef mixture into another large bowl so your Instant Pot is empty. There is no need to clean it.
- Pour 1/3 of the mixture back into the Instant Pot. Cover that layer with 3 or 4 tortillas. They can overlap.
- Cover the tortillas with another layer of the beef mixture. Repeat this layering process twice and top with a final layer of the beef.
- Then switch to “Pressure Cook” mode. Make sure the steam release handle is in the “Sealing” position. Set for 5 minutes on high pressure.
- When the timer beeps, you can perform a quick release by moving the pressure release to “Venting,” or you can let the pressure release naturally.
- Top with sour cream and shredded Cheddar.
