Notes
Note: You can omit the chili powder, cumin and lime if you're not using this in a Mexican recipe.To make in the Instant pot: Add all of the ingredients to the instant pot. Secure the lid and close the pressure valve (make sure it's set to sealing). Cook for 17 minutes on high pressure. Allow to count down for 5 minutes and then do a quick release pressure.
