I can remember what life was like before the invention of the Instant Pot. I spent countless hours in the kitchen in front of my stove, constantly stirring or making sure my water didn’t boil over. Although the outcome was delicious, but it was time wasted that could have been spent playing a card game with my kids or taking care of a few chores around the house.

Tostitos, authentic tacos, salsa, Fast Recipes in the Instant Pot For Busy People and more! I love Mexican food. Everyone that knows me knows I can never pass up Mexican cuisine! In fact, Mexican food was a staple during my pregnancies. I guess you could say my kids literally grew up on Mexican dishes! It also doesn’t hurt that I was spoiled during our time living on the border in El Paso, Texas. There are so many Mexican dishes that are over the top delicious and, by combining a few of the basic principles, the opportunities are endless.
That’s the great thing about Mexican food. It can be spicy, sweet, hot, cold and just downright unique. The bottom line is that it tastes amazing and awesome every single bite. I’ve never been one to shy away from all the flavors that Mexican food can bring and I’m not about to start now.
Can you add other beans besides blacks beans to this Instant Pot recipe?
Sure, you can add in any other beans that you want. It’s your recipe. Black beans are just the type of bean that is typically found and associated with Mexican food, but if you want to change it up and add something else, by all means, go ahead! The more beans, the better!
Does this Instant Pot Tortilla Soup have to be spicy?
Of course not. If you’re not a fan of the heat, just take out the hot and spicy ingredients. Not everyone in my family likes heat. My husband is a hot sauce connoisseur, I like a little kick, but my middle one doesn’t want any spice at all. If your family is similar, add spice to the individual bowls and enjoy. The options are limitless with how you can make this delicious dish.
What toppings go with this tortilla soup?
Toppings are one of the best parts of soup! Think cheese, green or yellow onions, fresh jalapenos, parsley, cayenne pepper seasoning, green onions, and the whatever fancies your family’s tastebuds. A glop of sour cream is always a great addition as well! If you’re looking for a way to substitute the taste of each and every bowl, toppings are a great way to make that happen!
