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.
