- 4 large flour tortillas warm these right before wrapping to keep soft and pliable

Instructions
Instructions
- First, heat your olive oil right in the pot till it’s shimmering. You start with diced onion and garlic, cooking till they soften and smell amazing.
- Add your diced chicken breast next. Brown it up all over until it loses its pink. This is the base for your tender pull to develop.
- Next toss in the sliced chorizo and red bell pepper. Let them cook together for about five minutes so their flavors blend good and peppers soften nicely.
- Sprinkle on your smoked paprika and add salt and pepper. Stir it around so it mixes into that broth depth you want in each bite.
- Now you’re ready to seal up and pressure cook. Usually, you’d lock the lid and cook under high pressure for 8 minutes. Then let the cooker go through natural release to keep the meat juicy and flavors settled.
- Once it’s done, warm your flour tortillas to get them soft and ready. Spoon the chicken chorizo mix onto each one, top with shredded lettuce and cheese, then roll ’em all up tight.
- Serve with a good spoon of sour cream on the side and dig in.
- Use pre-diced onion and minced garlic from the store to save prep time.
- Buy pre-cooked chicken breast or rotisserie to reduce cooking steps. Warm tortillas in microwave wrapped in a damp towel—it works real good and fast.
