Can you put this recipe in an insta pot?
Just an easy tip I learned I have a recipe I came up with kind of like this and one thing I have figured out over time is if you get a kitchen towel and attach it to the under side of the crock pot lid and secure it on top while cooking it will keep a lot of the moisture out and make a huge difference and also save on the moisture in your tortilla!!!
can you cook this in a regular pan
Can you cook this in a pressure cooker? If so, how long?
I doubled the recipe for a church potluck and it tasted great but was really liquidy. Next time I won’t double the broth or maybe I’ll leave it out altogether.
On the plus side, I added some corn and black beans (drained and rinsed) to the leftovers and made a yummy taco soup. 🙂
Can you make this in a regular pan on the stove?
Can the recipe be doubled ? With the same amount of cooking time ?
Can I use frozen chicken breast

It says use 1 1/4 cup of chicken broth would one cup be okay?
Yes, 1 cup will work, Jennifer.
