Ingredients

• 6 thick-sliced peppered bacon strips, chopped
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium sweet red pepper, chopped
• 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chiles
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cans (6-1/2 ounces each) chopped clams, undrained
• 4 cups diced Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1-1/2 pounds)
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• 2 cups half-and-half cream
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, divided

Directions

1. Select saute setting on a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Adjust for medium heat; add bacon. Cook until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons in pan. Add butter to drippings in pressure cooker. Cook and stir onion, red pepper and chiles until tender, 7-9 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Press cancel.
2. Drain clams; pour juice into pressure cooker. Set clams aside. Stir in potatoes and stock. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 4 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for 4 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure. Select sauté setting and adjust for low heat. Add clams, cream, taco seasoning and 1 tablespoon cilantro; simmer, uncovered, until mixture is heated through, 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press cancel. Serve with bacon and remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro.
