How to make Instant Pot Honey Chipotle Pork Tacos
- Load the Instant Pot. Place the pork in the instant pot. Whisk together the chipotles, adobo sauce, olive oil, honey, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and cumin and rub the mixture all over the pork. Pour the broth into the pressure cooking, being sure not to rinse the spices off the pork.
- Cook. Seal the pressure cooker and cook on high pressure for 60 minutes (it will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure). Allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes before releasing any remaining pressure manually.
- Shred. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and shred with two forks or a meat puller. You can stir the pork back into the juices in the instant pot if you’d like wetter tacos or keep it removed.
- Assemble the tacos. Fill each tortilla with shredded pork, black beans, red onion, and avocado and finish with a squeeze of fresh lime and a bit of fresh cilantro.
Suggested Toppings
Here are some toppings you might not have thought about to add some bold flavors to your tasty tacos: sour cream, cotija cheese, pickled red onions, lime juice, cilantro, tomatoes, guacamole, queso, pico de gallo, or fajita vegetables.
Storing Instructions
Once done eating, allow the pulled pork to cool down to room temperature. You can either use tongs or ladle to transfer the meat into an airtight container, it will just depend on how much of the extra liquid you want for next time. The taco meat will last in the fridge for about 3-4 days for the best flavor and texture.
