Instant Pot Pulled Pork Verde

I am obsessed with this Instant Pot Salsa Verde Pulled Pork… truly OBSESSED!!  LIKE REALLY OBSESSED!

Pulled Pork Love!

I love me some good pulled pork, but when you add in a little heat from some salsa and green chilies it takes it to a whole new level.  This pork is cooked in a delicious mixture of salsa, chilies, stock and spices.  Once it all cooks down it becomes this amazing concentrated spicy sauce that takes this pork to the next level.

Broil it a bit…

In the idea of a carnita I pulled the pot from the broth and broiled it for just a bit to give it some crispy bits.  I do this for 2 reason… one I love the extra flavor the charred bits bring and second it is pretty.  

When you cook meat in the instant pot, or slow cooker, sometimes the color can be drab, so putting it under the broiler for a bit helps bring out some color to make it a bit more appealing.  I mean we do eat with our eyes first.. right?

Pulled Pork Taco Time

I made this pork for a super fun Taco Party I did for some friends and family.  I loved it because I made it the day before and then reheated it on the stove for a while.  It came out amazing!!

For the tacos I built mine very simply like a street taco.  Tortilla, meat, fresh cilantro & chopped onion.  You could also top with pico, cojita cheese, salsa… anything you want.  Make it fun!!

Break out the Instant Pot!
