Carnitas

Carnitas in the Instant Pot. I wanted to mix it up a bit and try something other than a soup. I knew I wanted to test a Carnitas recipe as that is one of our very favorites that I make in my Crock Pot. So I thought I'd give this a go and we ate every last bite. 

Carnitas

Pork loin (mine was 1.3lbs but next time I need bigger)

4 garlic cloves, whole and peeled

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp oregano

1 bay leaf

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp of ground chipotle pepper (more to taste)

1 white onion sliced

Brown pork in the Saute function with a little oil, sliced onion and garlic cloves.

Add all seasonings

3/4 cup of water

Close the Instant Pot, choose Meat function for 30 minutes (more time for bigger pieces of meat)

Serve with corn tortillas, fresh avocado, green onion, and I made a sour cream and lime juice sauce!

Enjoy!
