Not-So-Optional Garnishes
lime wedges, shredded cabbage, chopped fresh cilantro, grated cheese (sharp cheddar, feta, cotija, and Daiya are all good , avocado, hot sauce, tortilla chips or crispy tortillas!
Instructions
Press 'saute' on you Instant Pot, and add the avocado oil to preheat
While it preheats, in a blender, puree the onion, the tomatoes, the garlic, and the spices.
Pour mixture into the hot oil, and sauté for for 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally. It will sputter a bit (water and oil), so put your lid slightly askew on the top if it is an issue for you.
Pour in the broth,, and add the sea salt and whole chicken thighs.
Lock on your lid, set Instant Pot to 'manual' for 8 minutes.
When time completes, press cancel and let it natural release for 10 minutes. Release the pressure the rest of the way, remove chicken to shred with two forks (or with a whisk right in the pot).
Add in the lime juic (if desired), and taste the broth to make sure there is enough salt, add the chicken back in, and top each bowl with desired garnishes!
