Steps:
- Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to high saute (see Cook's Note). When hot, add in the oil, scallions, garlic and jalapeno. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Hit cancel.
- Add the stock, chiles, lime zest, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Mix together. Add in the chicken and stir so everything is coated and covered. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set pressure to normal (or "poultry" setting) for 20 minutes.
- After the pressure-cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick-release cycle is complete. Being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid.
- Set the pot to high saute and cook 12 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. As you stir the chicken will begin to break apart and shred. You want most of the liquid to absorb, leaving a thick sauce. Squeeze in the juice of the halved limes. Taste the chili and add more salt or pepper if needed.
- To serve, fill the lettuce cups with the shredded chicken followed by a few slices of avocado, cilantro leaves and radish rounds.

Steps:
- For the chicken filling: Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the tomatillos, garlic, jalapeno, onions and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 15 minutes. Add the canned chiles, cumin and 3/4 cup water and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the sauce to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and puree until smooth. (When blending hot liquid, first let it cool for 5 minutes or so, then transfer it to a blender, filling only halfway. Put the lid on, leaving one corner open. Cover the lid with a kitchen towel to catch splatters, and pulse until smooth.)
- Pour the sauce back into the saucepan (if using a blender) and add the chicken, corn and beans and warm through. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- To serve, toast the tortillas over an open flame until just slightly charred (alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 1 minute to heat through and make pliable). Add about 3 tablespoons of the chicken filling to each tortilla, top with a drizzle of crema, sprinkle with queso fresco and some sliced radishes.

Steps:
- Place roast in Instant Pot.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together chilies, taco seasoning, and cumin. Spoon green chile mixture over pork.
- Put your lid on the pot and put the VALVE on sealing (not venting). Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 60 minutes (or 20-25 minutes per pound of your roast).
- When timer is finished, let pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take at least 20 minutes - I prefer to let it sit in my Instant Pot on the "keep warm" setting for a couple of hours and it will literally fall apart).
- Shred or slice roast (it should fall apart pretty easily) and serve on top of tortillas with your favorite toppings.

Tips:
- For a spicier chili, use a hotter variety of green chilis, such as jalapeños or serranos.
- If you don't have chicken breasts, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead.
- To make the chili ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the chili over medium heat until warmed through.
- Serve the chili with your favorite taco toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, diced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
This Instant Pot Green Chili Chicken Tacos recipe is an easy and delicious weeknight meal. The chili is packed with flavor and the chicken is tender and juicy. The tacos are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken.
