How To Make Instant Pot Taco Joes

2. Scoop refried beans over the ground beef in your Instant Pot. Sprinkle with taco seasoning. Do not stir.
3. Pour enchilada sauce, water, and salsa over ground beef and beans, in that order. Do not stir.
4. Pressure cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. Once your Instant Pot is done cooking, do not release the pressure. Allow for a 10 minute natural release before pressing the pressure release valve.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together corn starch and water. Pour into your taco joe mixture. Stir well. The corn starch mixture will thicken your taco joes.
6. Serve your taco joes on slider buns with candied jalapeños and cheddar cheese.
