Delicious Mexican pork made in the Instant Pot (pressure cooker) for tacos, burrito bowls, taco salads and more (also great with cilantro lime rice)! INGREDIENTS:
    2 1/2 pounds  trimmed boneless pork shoulder blade roast, cut into 4 pieces
    2 teaspoons  kosher salt
      black pepper, to taste
    6 cloves  garlic, cut into sliver
    1 1/2 teaspoons  cumin
    1/2 teaspoon  sazon, (I used homemade)
    1/4 teaspoon  dry oregano
    1 cup  reduced sodium chicken broth
    2-3  chipolte peppers in adobo sauce, to taste
    2  bay leaves
    1/4 teaspoon  dry adobo seasoning, (I used Goya)
    1/2 teaspoon  garlic powder

Season pork with salt and pepper.
Press saute on the instant pot, spray with oil and brown the pork on all sides for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Using a sharp knife, insert blade into pork about 1-inch deep, and insert the garlic slivers, you’ll want to do this all over.
Season pork with cumin, sazon, oregano, adobo and garlic powder all over.
Pour chicken broth, add chipotle peppers and stir, add bay leaves and place pork in the Instant Pot, cover and cook using the pressure cooker setting on high pressure for 80 minutes.
When the pressure releases, shred pork using two forks and combine well with the juices that accumalated at the bottom.
Remove bay leaves and adjust cumin and add adobo and mix well.
