Preparation
- Turn on the normal sauté button of the instant pot. When the display screen says hot, add oil, garlic, onions, bell pepper, and corn. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add smoked paprika, chili powder and cumin and mix well.
- Add vegetable broth, pasta, and black beans. Do not stir but press slightly so that pasta is under the liquid.
- Now add tomato sauce but don’t stir. Lock the lid into place. Press the manual/pressure cook button and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, with the pressure valve in the sealing position.
- Once cooking time is done, carefully quickly release all the pressure. Top taco pasta with cilantro, avocado, sour cream and serve with tortilla chips.
