Pork Carnitas

Ingredients

• 4 lbs. pork roast

• 1 chopped onion

• 1 diced jalapeno, deseeded

• 1 shredded carrot

• 4 cloves minced garlic

• 1 orange cut in half

• 2 tsp Himalayan salt

• 1 tsp black pepper

• 1 tbsp oregano

• 2 tbsp cumin

• 2 tbsp chili powder

• 1 tbsp olive oil

Toppings

• Small tortillas

• Avocadoes

• Spinach or shredded cabbage

• Ranch or other dressing

Directions

1. Preheat Instant Pot to sauté setting.

2. Combine salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, and chili powder to make a rub. Cover the pork roast with the rub and be sure to use all the seasoning.

3. Heat the oil in the Instant Pot. Place the pork in the Instant Pot to sear while still on the sauté setting. Sear on each side for a few minutes until the sides start getting crispy.

4. Add the remaining ingredients to the Instant Pot. Squeeze the orange juice over the roast, and put the orange back in the Instant Pot.

5. Place the lid on Instant Pot. Set on high for 50 minutes. Let it naturally depressurize.

6. Shred the pork and place back in the Instant Pot with the juices. Let sit for 10 minutes to soak in the flavor.

7. Serve on tortillas with avocado and greens.
