- Place the lid on and make sure the nob is set to sealing.
- Click the manual button and turn it to 45 minutes.
- Do the quick pressure release to release the pressure.
- Remove the pork from cooking liquid and shred the pork.

- I like to take fresh limes and squeeze them over the instant pot pork before serving. Enjoy!
Tips: It’s totally optional but I use this to squeeze my limes over the tacos. YUM!
I also use a griddle to quickly fry the flour or corn tortillas in butter for even more flavor. It really adds a lot to the recipe and totally worth the extra few minutes.
The fresh lime and the hot buttered tortillas really make this meal come together. It’s all about the details!
While it is optional, I highly recommend squeezing a little bit of fresh lime over the tacos. Talk about amazing!

Love these and so easy to make
Roger says
Tacos are the best.
AJ says
Followed the directions and got a burn notice. Does it require more water than what the directions say?
Carrie says
AJ – Mine didn’t require more water. I like the longer cook time so that the pork will shred for the tacos. If you are getting a burn notice, I would add another cup of water. Thank you!
Ashley says
My pork didn’t come out very shred-able… Is there a trick to it? I used pork loin – am I supposed to put the fat side down? I feel like I followed everything correctly so I’m not sure what went wrong.
Carrie says
If the pork was not shreddable, I would cook it longer as it was probably not quite done yet.
