Elevate the everyday; easy substitutions & great toppings
Although this Instant Pot Lazy Taco Lasagna is great as is, sometimes I like to elevate the everyday. Here are a few suggestions that take very little effort and really add a little something special.
- Use half ground beef and half chorizo sausage
- Substitute Shredded Mexican Chicken, (also made in the the Instant Pot) for the ground beef
- Add in 2 Tbsp Chipotle in Adobo to the salsa, for some smokiness
- Make it Taco Lasagna Supreme with Lime Crema, Cilantro, and a few diced tomatoes on top
Which Instant Pot is best?
People often ask which Instant Pot I use and recommend. I have three! I cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for 6-8 people everyday and I use my Instant Pot at least 3 times a week. On the weekends, when I’m making all my prepaheadables, I often have all three going at the same time. I have two 6 quart Duo’s and an 8 quart that I use for cooking up big batches of my weekly Instant Pot Soups.
