Instant Pot® Chicken Enchiladas
I created this recipe many years ago for my hubby who does not like the traditional sour cream sauce on his chicken enchiladas. It's been a hit with family and friends ever since. Now with our Instant Pot® it's been improved and made better than ever! For a different take on chicken enchiladas that will make everyone happy, give this one a try!

Mix chili powder, salt, and cumin together in a bowl.
Rub mixture over the chicken.
Pour chicken broth into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®).
Add a rack to the bottom of the pot and place seasoned chicken on top.
Close and lock the lid.
Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes.
Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Combine 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, 1 can green enchilada sauce, green chiles, onions, and jalapeños in a large mixing bowl.
Stir to thoroughly blend.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Lightly grease a baking dish.
Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 5 minutes.
Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes.
Unlock and remove the lid.
Transfer cooked chicken to a cutting board and shred or chop into small pieces.
Add to the mixing bowl with the cheese mixture.
Stir until chicken mixture is blended.
Heat olive oil in a skillet.
Soften tortillas 1 at a time by dipping into the hot oil for 2 to 3 seconds per side.
Drain on paper towels.
Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons chicken mixture onto a tortilla, roll up, and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
Repeat with remaining tortillas and mixture.
Combine 1 can green enchilada sauce and red enchilada sauce in a bowl and pour over enchiladas in the baking dish.
Sprinkle remaining 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes.
