Delicious Instant Pot carnitas tacos with crispy outer layer, juicy inside, and quick cooking time. Pair with mango salsa for a sweet twist.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup orange juice, without pulp
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (3 pound) pork ribeye roast, cut into 3 inch cubes
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 mango, diced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons salsa verde
  • 12 street taco size corn tortillas
  • Lime wedges for garnish
Instructions:
  • Combine chicken broth, orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl and give it a spirited whisk. Let it sit for later.
  • Preheat a multi-functional pressure cooker, like an Instant Pot®, on the Saute setting. Heat olive oil for 30 seconds, then add pork cubes and cook for 4 minutes. Flip pork cubes with tongs and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Turn off the Saute function.
  • Pour the flavorful chicken broth over the pork, seal the lid securely, and set your pressure cooker to High pressure for 40 minutes, following the manufacturer's guidelines. Let the pressure build for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions to naturally release pressure for 20 to 40 minutes. Then, unlock and remove the lid.
  • Combine the tomatoes, mango, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and salsa verde in a bowl and mix well.
  • Position the oven rack 6 inches below the heat source and preheat the broiler.
  • Using two forks, shred the pork and place it on a baking sheet. Pour half of the juices from the Instant Pot over the pork, mix well, and spread it evenly on the baking sheet.
  • Broil pork for a total of 16 minutes, tossing halfway through, until desired crispness is achieved.
  • Fill the tortillas with equal portions of pork, add a generous amount of mango salsa on top, and accompany with lime wedges for serving.
