Do I have to use a rotisserie chicken?

No, while this Instant Pot taco pie recipe is made with 3 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken, that is for convenience. We have talked before about the meals you can make from one rotisserie chicken. You could use leftover chicken, canned chicken, even ground beef instead if you wanted to!

So I need a springform pan for the Instant Pot to make this recipe?

Yes. While you COULD use a different kind of pan, you would have a difficult time getting the recipe out of it and keeping the entree all in one piece. On the plus side, you will have the ability to make Instant Pot Cheesecakes also! Get your springform pan here if you need one.

Can I use fat-free cheese to make this?

No- we recommend using full-fat cheddar cheese to make this instant pot taco pie recipe. You can use another type of cheese if you want, but it might not be as tasty!

Can I add more toppings?

Yes, go for it! You can add any type of toppings that you want. We suggest topping with some pico de gallo or guacamole and sour cream- instant yumminess. You are only limited by your imagination as you are making this Instant Pot Taco Pie from scratch!

Can I use other ingredients?

Of course! This Instant Pot taco pie recipe is so versatile because there are so many different options. You can use other types of meat, add some beans or corn to the instant pot taco pie crust- anything you want!

What is a good side dish for this instant pot taco pie?

We recommend serving it with Spanish rice and refried beans because they both have similar flavors to what’s in the Instant Pot taco pie. You could also serve with your favorite type of salad or chips and salsa!

Yes- the options are endless for what ingredients you could put on top of your Instant Pot taco pie.
