Directions
Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saute function; add olive oil. Saute green chilies and onion in the oil, 3 to 4 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and garlic; saute for 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 2
Add chicken, black beans, tomatoes, corn, enchilada sauce, chicken broth, water, potatoes, lime juice, salt, cumin, chili powder, chipotle pepper, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and oregano. Stir well.
Step 3
Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 14 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Step 4
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove chicken and shred meat; return shredded meat to the pot. Serve with tortilla strips on top.
Tips
You can substitute 1 to 2 tablespoons garlic powder for fresh; add to soup with other spices. You can substitute diced zucchini for celery, a salt substitute for a lower-sodium version, and water with 4 chicken bouillon cubes instead of prepared broth.
