We're of the belief that Taco Tuesday can happen any day of the week. In fact, the more taco nights, the better. These Vietnamese Instant Pot beef brisket tacos won't disappoint, and the meat itself is versatile to use for different types of leftover dishes.


Instant Pot Vietnamese Beef Tacos

This scrumptious Vietnamese-inspired Instant Pot beef tacos recipe comes from Laurel Randolph's cookbook, The Instant Pot No-Pressure Cookbook. Her humble meals pack in the flavour, variety, and drool-worthiness without requiring much culinary skill on your end. Laurel's humble approach to pressure cooking - and teaching us how to master it in her cookbooks - is refreshing, delicious, and ultimately rewarding with recipes like this.

Instant Pot No Pressure Cookbook Review

Instant Pot Beef Tacos

This is the perfect summertime recipe for entertaining or getting a quick weeknight dinner on the table. The meat is tender and slightly spicy, bursting with umami flavour. Shredded slaw, jalapeños, cilantro, and zingy lime make for the perfect crunchy toppings, bringing together that awesome Vietnamese street food vibe right to your dinner table. Let's face it - you'd be waiting in a long line for tacos like these otherwise!

From the author: "I live in Los Angeles, where we are very fortunate to have a number of food trucks and eateries that serve stand-in-line-worthy Vietnamese-Mexican fusion. Vietnamese tacos might seem like a weird combo, but just trust me. It’s a match made in food heaven. Tender meat and crunchy veggies are dressed with savory, tangy, sweet, and salty ingredients for a happy marriage of flavors and textures—no waiting in line required."
