3 cloves of garlic minced
2 tsp chili powder
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp chipotle powder
1/4 cup chopped Cilanto (opptional)
Directions
Combine the dry seasonings in a bowl and whisk to blend. Set aside.
Press saute on the Instant Pot and add the olive oil
When the oil is hot, add the onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes
Remove the veggies from the pot and add the ground meat
Break up the beef with spoon into small pieces and cook until no longer pink
Turn off saute function on Instant Pot
Stir bottom of Instant Pot to remove any browned bits (prevents a burn alarm on Instant Pot)
Add sauteed veggies back to the Instant Pot
Add in the seasonings and stir well
Secure the lid, turn the pressure valve to closed position and set the Instant Pot to pressure cook on high for 12 minutes
When finished, let pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes
Open the lid and stir the meat
If there is more liquid than desired, set the Instant Pot to saute and boil it off
Garnish meat with cilantro if desired
Spoon into crunchy or soft taco shells, top with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and any other fixings your family loves! Enjoy!
