This is an easy peasy recipe when you have the trusty Instapot handy. Just add the ingredients to the pot, set it and forget it!

This is my all time favorite Instapot. I’ve had it for years. 😍 The Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker, Sterilizer, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Saute, Yogurt Maker, and Warmer, 8 Quart, and 14 One-Touch Programs. The 8 Quart is the perfect size, not to big and not too small. I make all my bone broths, stews, and soups in this one!

Instapot Pork Carnitas Recipe

When preparing the pork roast, cut into 3-inch chunks. I didn’t do this as I totally forgot. It cooks more tender and evenly if you cut it into chunks.

As you will see in the picture, I added some bok choy to the bottom of the pot, this is optional.

Ingredients:

1 (4-5 pound) lean boneless pork roast
1 cup chicken stock
1 medium white onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon chipotle powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt

Add all of the ingredients and combine them well in the instapot.

Cook on high until the instapot is ready.

To know if it’s ready, it should be tender where you can shred the meat with a fork.

Serve with low carb wraps, jicama wraps, salsa, salad, or a side of cauliflower rice. I used Low Carb Mission Tortillas for my meal. Enjoy!
