Read full article: 5 Instant Pot dishes to make for Hispanic Heritage Month

It is Hispanic Heritage Month, and what a better way to celebrate than with some flavorful and easy recipes that can be made in an Instant Pot? The Instant Pot is a fantastic way to cook meat so it's super tender in a short period of time, so it's perfect for things like pork carnitas and chicken enchiladas. Achieving the most tender pork in the Instant Pot is easier than baking a cake. The best part about this Instant Pot recipe is that everything is cooked inside the pot, so you don't end up dirtying every pot and pan in the kitchen. You will never cook ground beef for tacos any other way after you do it in the Instant Pot.

(CNN) - Google kicked off the first day of Hispanic Heritage Month with a Doodle tribute to Mexican-American botanist and explorer Yns Mexa. "I wasn't aware of who Yns Mexa was, but when I started the project and researched her life, I was amazed at her accomplishments," Lora said in a Q&A with Google. According to Google, Mexa embarked on her first plant-collection trip on this day in 1925. She collected about 150,000 plant specimens, and some estimate that about 500 of those were previously undiscovered. Scientists continue to study Mexa's samples to this day, and the plant specimens she collected are housed in museums and institutions around the world.
