Equipment

  • Pressure cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup salsa
  • 8-10 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 0.5 cup sour cream

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir to combine.
  • Add the chicken and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add the chicken broth, salsa, and stir to combine.
  • Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and set the valve to "seal". Cook for 8 minutes on high pressure.
  • Release the pressure and open the lid. Remove the chicken from the pressure cooker and shred it with two forks.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken, cheese, and sour cream. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture into each tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.
