May 2018 Instant Pot Meal Plan
The school year is starting to wrap up. And, with that comes lots of activity and running around. In this May 2018 Edition of my Instant Pot Meal Plan, I made sure to include some simple recipes for those super busy weeknights. That way you can get dinner on the table and get your night wrapped up quickly.
The Carnitas are perfect for busy weeks. You can make them on the weekend and have plenty stored away to make quick tacos, nachos, or sandwiches. Also, the Chicken Tacos which are based on my Salsa Chicken recipe, are another perfect meal for busy weeknights. The chicken is super versatile and cooks in less than 10 minutes. And, if you’re looking for a kid favorite that’s ready in minutes then my Hawaiian Sloppy Joes are a must.
You’ll also find tons of great recipes from other bloggers. Tasty dishes like Shrimp & Grits. Yum! And, if you love seafood, there are plenty more options like gumbo, Bang Bang shrimp, and salmon.
I also included some more traditional dishes like the
In the side dishes, you must try the Mexican Street Corn pasta. I’ve made this one a few times. It’s so fresh and absolutely delicious!
We all know that no meal is complete without a sweet treat. Make sure you try the jar cakes. They’re so easy and so amazingly delicious! I also included my Flan recipe which is so rich and creamy. It’s the perfect follow up to a great meal.
Below the list of recipes, you will find links to all my monthly Instant Pot meal plans.
