Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice
  • 1 cup thinly sliced onion
  • 5 teaspoons chipotle chile powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 pounds boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt), trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 14 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 1/2 cups chopped tomato
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges (optional)

Method

  • Combine first 6 ingredients (through garlic) in a 6-quart Instant Pot(R). Add pork, tossing to coat. Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot(R). Turn the steam release handle to "Sealing" position. Press [Manual]; select "High Pressure," and use [-] or [+] to choose 29 minutes pressure cooking time. When time is up, turn cooker off. Open the cooker using Natural Pressure Release (page 4).
  • Remove pork from cooker with a slotted spoon; shred with 2 forks to measure 4 3/4 cups meat. Remove and discard any chunks of fat. Spread pork in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan or broiler pan lined with foil.
  • Skim fat from cooking liquid in cooker; discard fat. With lid off, press [Saute], and use [Adjust] to select "More" mode. When cooking liquid comes to a boil, turn cooker off. Press [Saute], and use [Adjust] to select "Normal" mode. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring frequently.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Drizzle pork with 1/4 cup cooking liquid. Discard remaining cooking liquid, or set aside for serving, if desired. Broil pork 3 to 5 minutes or until pork is browned and edges are crispy, turning pork occasionally.
  • Heat tortillas in microwave according to package directions. Spoon 1/3 cup shredded pork mixture onto each tortilla. Top each with about 3 tablespoons tomato and about 1 1/2 teaspoons cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.
  • Pressure-Perfect Tip:
  • Cut the pork into uniform pieces so that it cooks evenly.
