How to Make Instant Pot Pork Tacos

This is a fun recipe because it couldn’t be easier. This is a recipe that practically makes itself, and it lends to the most moist and flavorful meat around. A simple mix of seasoning and spices plus a little stock is all you need to make amazing pork tacos in the instant pot. No special ingredients or trips to the store for this recipe. The other unique aspect of this recipe is that you finish the meat under your oven broiler. You can skip this step of course, the meat is great right out of the Instant Pot, but broiling it reduces the remaining liquid and crisps up the edges of the meat perfectly. It’s one of my favorite tips for making flavor packed pork carnitas with a great texture. It takes a few extra minutes but I promise it’s worth the time.

Tips and Tricks for making Crispy Pork Tacos

• If you are short on time, the pork is great just shredded right out of the Instant Pot. If you skip the broiling step, it just won’t be as crispy.
• This recipe can be made in the slow cooker by following the same directions (except in a slow cooker) and then cooking it on low for 8-9 hours and then shred and broil as directed.
• I bought a big8 quart Instant Poton Black Friday and I haven’t looked back. Do you have one yet?! I’m on team get-the-big-one because it’s always easier to have more room than not enough.
• Cutting the pork into chunks is a great trick when it comes to the Instant Pot. It reduces the cooking time needed to cook the pork and it also makes it easier to shred after it’s cooked. It also allows more of the seasoning to come into contact with more of the meat.
• There are so many great ways to use this Instant Pot Pork Taco Recipe. The first night I normally serve it like traditional tacos with all the toppings, but I always have leftovers. To reinvent the leftovers I’ll turn the taco meat intoeasy oven baked tostadasor easysmothered enchiladas(just replace the meat called for in the recipes with the already cooked pork taco meat!).
