7. Here's my basic method which can be adapted to an instant pot

I will take thighs and/or legs and cook them overnight in my sous vide cooker at 165F. The next day I will reserve and refrigerate the left over stock which will be highly concentrated since no water was added. The meat I will de-bone and shred, then refrigerate it until dinner time. After the stock chills I'll skim off the rendered fat and mix into the shredded meat. I usually wind up having to add some additional oil. The meat gets spread onto a baking pan and browned under the broiler.

I make my own taco seasoning out of dried chilies, cumin seeds, onion and garlic powder, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Everything goes into the food processor to get ground. After everything is ground I'll throw in some fresh serrano and continue to process until it turns into a paste. To this I will add a bit of the stock to make a slurry and this gets mixed into the browned chicken.

The taco meat gets served with fresh corn tortillas, chopped purple onion, chopped cilantro, creme fraiche, guacamole, and some lime wedges.
