Instant Pot Carnitas are so full of flavor! This Mexican-style pulled pork is smoky and citrussy, with irresistible crispy bits and a texture that’s fall-apart good.
Served in warm tortillas and topped with jalapenos and a squeeze of lime, it doesn’t get much better than these Instant Pot pork carnitas!
Add the pork, citrus juices, spices, and salt to a large bowl. Stir to coat the pork and set aside to marinate.
Next, turn your Instant Pot to the saute setting and drizzle in the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant and the onions are translucent.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any flavorful bits from the onion and garlic. Add the pork along with its marinade into the pot and stir to mix it all together.
Place the lid on the Instant pot, set the vent to sealing, and cook for 40 minutes on high pressure.
After the 40 minutes is up, let the Instant Pot sit for 15 minutes before flipping the vent to release the remaining pressure.
