Pressure-Cooker Beef Carnitas
I came up with this recipe while cleaning out my refrigerator and trying to figure out what I could do with a pot roast that had been in the freezer. I LOVE how easy this is.—Ann Piscitelli, Nokomis, Florida

I made this exactly as written. My family loved it. I did not have any problem with burning. It was very good. A keeper for sure!
Great recipe!! I did mine in the 8qt Instant Pot. I was worried about not adding liquid, plus throwing salsa on top. I got the dreaded burn message right away even after scraping the bottom after browning. But I was able to just open the lid, scrape the contents off the bottom, and reset. Still skeptical, I watched carefully as the timer ticked away for the first five minutes, then i was comfortable it was working. After letting it NPR 10 min, I shredded the meat and put it under the broiler to crisp up. Then I spooned the sauce on top and served with tortillas, cubed avocado, sour cream, cilantro and chopped green onion. This recipe will make it into our rotation!
