How to Make Our Pot Green Chile Pork Tacos Recipe
Instant Pot Instructions
- Place roast in Instant Pot.
- Pour chicken broth into the Instant Pot.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together chilies, taco seasoning, and cumin. Spoon green chile mixture over pork.
- Put your lid on the pot and put the VALVE on sealing (not venting). Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 60 minutes (or 20-25 minutes per pound of your roast).
- When timer is finished, let pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take at least 20 minutes – I prefer to let it sit in my Instant Pot on the “keep warm” setting for a couple of hours and it will literally fall apart).
- Shred or slice roast (it should fall apart pretty easily) and serve on top of tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place roast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together chilies, chicken broth, taco seasoning, and cumin. Spoon green chile mixture over pork.
- Place lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW heat for 8-10 hours.
- When pork is done cooking, shred or slice roast (it should fall apart pretty easily) and serve on top of tortillas with your favorite toppings.
Recipe Notes
- Store the green chile pork in an airtight container for up to four days in the refrigerator.
- You can use this meat in burritos or enchiladas.
- If you have extra time for anything, let it be for some delicious homemade corn tortillas. I cannot tell you how awesome they are, it’s truly something you need to experience, if only once. You can find a great recipe for your own homemade corn tortillas from Gimme Some Oven. It is so good, and has great instructions.
