Can you use beef chuck roast ?
Meat with the bone will make your soup more rich, but if you don't have it chuck roast will work. I probably would jut add a bit more of it.
Multi-generational latino and multi-ethnic family unanimous approval for the results from this Instant Pot recipe. I followed the ingredients and cook time. Thank you.
none of these reviews are Actually about how good or bad the soup is. Did anyone who commented actually make it or just admire the recipe and it’s ingredients
Hi!
There is tomato in the ingredient but I didn't see it in the picture. Also, you are referring to one big tomato and not cheery tomato right?
Will this recipe work in a 6 quart Instant Pot?
Absolutely! Just add a little bit less water.
For the truest Mexican experience eat this on the hottest day of the year. I also made a few changes 2 kilos of meat, brown it first, cut the cook time down to 25 minutes, removed the bones, then did the 5 minutes for the vegetables.
Hottest day!!! No chinges lmao
What size instant pot?
I use a 8qt size instant pot
