This delicious Mexican Taco recipe is easy to make in the Instant Pot. It's stacked full of flavour from the base of onions, celery, carrots, garlic and chilli through to the pops of sweetness from the sweetcorn and pineapple. This family-friendly recipe is fun to eat as you have to make up your own tacos with additions - sour cream, guacamole, salsa and cheese.

    A couple of questions…
    This recipe says the base contains carrot and celery but I can’t see the quantities of these? 1 carrot and 2 celery sticks?
    The chorizo – is this 10 slices or a weight measurement? Trying it out tonight as it sounds delicious
    Thanks!
