Make your favorite restaurant's sweet pork at home with just a handful of ingredients. This pulled pork is perfect over salad, rice, tacos, burritos, quesadillas or on a toasted bun. 

Instant Pot Cafe Rio Sweet Pork

¼ cups Coke, divided (not diet)

pork

brown sugar, divided

tsp garlic salt

green chilies

(10 oz can) red enchilada sauce

Pour 1 ½ cups of Coke into Instant Pot. Add in the quartered pork, ¼ cup brown sugar and garlic salt.

Cover and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 60 minutes. When the time is up let the pot sit there for 15 minutes and then move the valve to venting. 

Discard the cooking liquid. Shred the meat. Keep the meat in the Instant Pot.

Add ¾ cup Coke, 1 cup brown sugar, green chilies and enchilada sauce to a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into the Instant Pot. 

Cover the pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 5 minutes. When the time is up you can use a quick release or a natural release. Remove the lid.

Use tongs to serve the pork on top of salads, rice, burritos, tacos, quesadillas etc.

I wouldn't worry about your aversion to Coke vs Pepsi. The Coke is little more than a source of caramelized sugar, and flavor. Most of it is poured down the drain between the two pressure cooking steps.  I'm also quite positive you could use Pepsi just fine as long as it is not Diet Pepsi.

I did coke the first time, and dr pepper after. It is way better w dr pepper!

I had a pork butt roast in my freezer so I used that instead of a shoulder and it turned out wonderful.  The only other change I made was using three cans of chilies instead of one.  I don't  think you can ever have too many green chilies!  This is a great recipe that I will use again and the first recipe that I have ever left a comment for!

I made  this today, hubby thought it was too sweet.  If I make it again, I will increase chilis to 2 cans, use medium or hot enchilada sauce,  and reduce the  sugar to 1/2 cup in the final step.
The pork was very tender  and  moist

My husband refuses to try any food he thinks is Mexican so I modified your recipe to make a sweet pulled pork.  I eliminated the green chilies and enchilada sauce.  For the pork, I used Coke, brown sugar, garlic salt, and about 1/4 cup of bourbon.  When the pork was done, I discarded the cooking liquid.  I mixed 3/4 cup Coke and 1 cup brown sugar in a small saucepan and served it as a sauce on the side.  My husband went wild over this and my Alabaman neighbors said it was the best pulled pork they've ever had.  Thank you for your website - it's the best one out there and I happily refer everyone I know to it.

Yummy!!!!!  Everything was great.  Served it with nacho bar.

This is my families favorite insta pot recipe, we make this at least twice a month.

I do have the daily silly question here. I noticed the ingredients were doubled for the 2X, but the directions have the 1X amounts. Were they too to be doubled? Just wondering?

Absolutely fantastic!!
I just bought an instant pot and was excited to try this recipe! Delicious and easy! The pork was soooo tender and easy to shred with just a couple of forks!
Nom nom nom!!!
