Put chicken breasts in the Instant Pot.

Add the whole jar of salsa to the chicken.

Seal the Instant Pot lid and set to manual for 35 minutes.

Ensure the sealing knob is set to sealing before starting the pot.

After cooking, release the steam and carefully remove the lid.

Transfer the chicken to a bowl and shred it with forks or tongs.

Add a bit of the cooking liquid to the shredded chicken to keep it juicy.

In the Instant Pot, add rinsed black beans, remaining cooking liquid, and additional water (about 2 cups).

Seal the Instant Pot again and set to manual for 35 minutes for the beans.

Heat light olive oil in a small stainless skillet over medium heat.

Take a stack of corn tortillas and fry them in the hot oil, flipping after 5 seconds until golden and crispy.

Place cooked tortillas on a cutting board lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
