Instant Pot Kids Chicken Fajita Recipe
One of our favourite Mid-Week Family Meals is Chicken Fajitas. I always have some homemade fajita seasoning in the cupboard and you can guarantee that each week there will be fajitas on our meal plan for the family. Having got an Instant Pot recently one of the things I wanted to try and make in it was some chicken fajitas and this recipe couldn’t be easier. So here we go our first Instant Pot Recipe for Easy Kid-Friendly Chicken Fajitas.
Cooking Chicken Fajitas in the Instant Pot
One of the reasons I invested in an electronic pressure cooker was the time saver.
We are a busy family and although I have set a goal to meal plan this year so that we eat healthier and more budget-friendly it doesn’t solve the problem that time is limited even when you work from home.
Investing in a pressure cooker aka The Instant Pot I hope that like our slow cooker and bread maker it will save me some time and make homemade meals much more time-friendly.
It was so easy to make this recipe.
I just placed it in and let it cook. No watching and stirring so that it doesn’t burn instead it was a simple one-pot wonder then served with some guacamole, sour cream, tomato salsa, and cheese.
