Step 1

Begin by seasoning the pork chunks generously with salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, and chili powder.

Step 2

Set your Instant Pot to the sauté function and heat a drizzle of oil. Sear the seasoned pork until golden brown on all sides.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, orange juice, and lime juice to the Instant Pot. Stir to combine, ensuring that the pork is coated in the flavorful liquids.

Step 4

Secure the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes.

Step 5

Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure.

Step 6

Using two forks, shred the pork into bite-sized pieces directly in the Instant Pot.

Step 7

Serve the carnitas hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and your choice of accompaniments.
