Smokey Five Bean Chili

1 tablespoon oil
1 large white onion, diced
1 large poblano pepper, diced (remove seeds and membrane for less spicy)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 pounds ground beef
5 cans of different beans (black, pinto, light red, great northern, black eyed peas)
3 cans petite diced tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1/2 cup beef broth
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1 tablespoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup crushed tortilla chips

Saute onion and poblano in oil. Add garlic, saute for a couple more minutes. Add beef and cook until brown (you may want to drain off some fat at this point if you used a beef with a high fat content). Add beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, and all the spices. Add crushed chips (this takes the place of masa by thickening the chili but also adds flavor). Season with salt to taste (after you add chips, because that can add a lot of salt).

Best Instapot Barbecue Pulled Pork

Spice rub:

3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry mustard
3 tablespoons coarse sea salt

Favorite barbecue sauce
3-4 pound pork roast, shoulder or butt (I use boneless because I think it's easier to shred, but bone in gives it more flavor and keeps it from drying out)

Combine ingredients to spice rub. Rub all over pork roast and let it sit for at least one hour, or up to 24. Place in Instapot with the wire rack on the bottom. Add some chicken broth (1/2 to 1 cup- otherwise there won't be enough liquid for the pressure cooker to function properly), but don't wash off the spice rub! Cook for 60-75 minutes on high pressure. When it's done let it release naturally for about 10 minutes. Shred pork and add barbecue sauce. Serve with coleslaw and rolls. 

Super Healthy Green Chili Chicken and (Cauliflower) Rice

I am pretty sure this recipe would pass the diet plans across the board-keto, paleo, you name it!

One recipe Southwest Style Instapot Chicken, shredded (Rotisserie chicken works too)
1 tablespoon oil
2 poblano peppers, diced
1 white or yellow onion, diced
1 1/2  teaspoon cumin
1 jar Hertz Green Salsa (or other green salsa but Hertz is hands down the best)
2 cups frozen cauliflower rice
Chicken broth as needed
Cilantro, chopped

Start chicken in Instapot. While it's cooking, dice poblano peppers and onion. Heat large pan to medium, add oil then peppers and onions. Cook until onions and peppers for about five minutes until onions are translucent. Season with salt to taste. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Add cumin and stir. Next add riced cauliflower and green salsa. If it needs a little extra liquid add chicken broth (I use what is left from my Instapot). Give it a good stir and then add shredded chicken. Place lid on pan and let it simmer for just a few minutes (5-10 should do it), stirring as needed. When finished, stir in cilantro. Serve with sour cream and chips, unless you want to keep it healthy and then just eat the way it is!
