  6. While salmon is cooking in Instant Pot, cook 1 cup of cauliflower rice on stovetop (spray pan lightly with olive oil spray), or microwaved until hot and softened.

Recipe Notes

  • This recipe makes a single serving because no one else in my family (#DoneWithFun Daddy included) will touch cauliflower rice with a 10-foot pole. If you’re making it for your whole family, (1) lucky you to have such good eaters!, and (2) just double, triple or quadruple the ingredients as appropriate.
  • Instant Pot offers a bunch of options now with a variety of bells and whistles. I own the basic 8-quart DUO80 model because it was the cheapest on Prime Day. The 6-quart DUO60 model would also work just as well for families and takes up a little less cabinet or counter space.
  • I opted not to include cheese because I felt like the recipe had enough healthy fats and flavor from the avocado and crema. Feel free to garnish with 1 Tbsp of shredded Cheddar if tacos aren't complete for you without cheese.
