For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as corn, black beans, or diced tomatoes. If you don't have taco seasoning, you can make your own using chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with cooked quinoa or lentils. If you prefer a softer pepper, increase the pressure cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
