Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 250° (skip this step if using an Instant Pot).
-
Season pork with salt and pepper.
-
Heat dutch oven over moderately high heat. Alternatively, turn Instant Pot to “SAUTE”.
-
Add bacon fat.
-
Sear pork in two batches (to avoid steaming) until golden brown.
-
When second batch is browned, add first batch back in, and add remaining ingredients.
-
Place a lid on the dutch oven and place in the preheated oven. Alternatively, press “MANUAL” on the Instant Pot and place the lid on with steam valve set on “SEALING”.
-
Cook in the oven for 2-2½ hours. Alternatively, set Instant Pot time to 35 minutes.
-
Once tender, remove pork from the pot, transfer pork to another bowl - reserving liquid for another use. If using the Instant Pot, allow natural release for 15 minutes, and transfer pork.
-
Shred pork with two forks.
-
Taste and season as necessary.
-
Place shredded pork in a single layer on a greased sheet pan under the broiler to crisp.
-
Serve with corn tortillas, fine chopped yellow onion, cilantro, and lime.
