Pork Carnitas ( Instapot)

Pork Carnitas

Ingredients

  • flour tortillas
  • 2-3 lbs pork shoulder roast (beef works even better!)
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 2 cups precooked rice
  • 3 teaspoons oregano
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa

Instructions

  • Cut as much of the fat off the pork shoulder roast as you can.
  • Chop the roast up into chunks smaller than a baseball but bigger than a golf ball.
  • In the Instant Pot, throw in 1/2 of a medium size chopped yellow onion and some chopped garlic to your taste.
  • Add 3/4 cup of reduced sodium chicken broth.
  • Add spices and stir.
  • Place pork chunks in a single layer on the bottom of your pot.
  • Shut the lid and make sure the steamer button thing is set to Sealed.
  • Push the MEAT button and then adjust the time to 50 minutes.
  • While your Instant Pot is going, make a pot of rice.
  • When the timer goes off, let it sit and release steam naturally (about 15 minutes).
  • Remove the meat chunks into a separate bowl, adding a little of the juice and onions in there with the meat.
  • Warm up the corn tortillas in a skillet that is barely touched with olive oil.
  • Put a little rice on the tortilla, the pork and the guacamole and then whatever else you want for your toppings.
