Instant Pot Carnitas Street Tacos Recipe

For this recipe we are using the Smithfield All Natural Boneless Loin Filet, which can be found in the fresh pork section of your local Walmart.

Of course you could bake, grill, or saute pork, but we’ll use the Instant Pot because we are looking to get good food on the table – fast!

Smithfield® Fresh Pork is proudly raised in the USA and is hand-selected based on coloring and marbling. Because of this – and the no artificial ingredients, no preservatives, no added steroids or hormones – you can SEE the quality and TASTE the difference. I must admit the meat is more tender than I was expecting in just 40 minutes.

This recipe yields between 12 and 20 street tacos, depending on how fully you stuff them. For me, that means I need a fork because I always overstuff my tacos!

For our family of four we used about half of the meat and then let the rest marinate in the juices overnight for leftovers. And what is better than street tacos?! Using up that delicious leftover shredded pork to top tortilla chips along with cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and black olives to make some amazing shredded pork nachos the next day!
