The perfect recipe for beer braised, fork tender pork carnitas. This recipe is so delicious you won&#039;t want to put anything else in your tacos.

Instant Pot Beer Braised Pork Carnitas

pork shoulder (boneless, skinless)

pork

250 ml beer (you can also use orange juice if you'd like)

tbsp cumin (ground)

coriander seed (ground)

oregano

bay leaves

garlic (peeled)

chili

salt

olive oil

lime (juiced)

Preparing the Instant Pot

Dice all the meat into 2cm/1inch pieces and place in the instant pot.

Mix the spices

Mix all the ingredients except the lime juice and mix with the meat in the instant pot.

Pressurize

Close the lid and set the time to high pressure for 27 minutes.

De-pressurize

When the timer beeps let the instant pot naturally de-pressurize for 10 minutes. Manually let out the rest

Strain

Strain the meat from the liquid, saving the liquid.

Get a frying pan hot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Fry the meat in batches until nicely browned. Always be careful when adding wet ingredients to hot oil as it will splatter a bit.

Add the braising liquid

Add all the fried meat back in the pan and add the saved braising liquid.  Cook over medium heat until most of the liquid is evaporated. Season with lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.

Serve in your favourite taco with your favourite sides! Enjoy!

Make the chicken: Fill a heavy-bottomed, high-sided skillet with about ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) of vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350°F (180°C).

Place the chicken thighs on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until all of the thighs are between ¼ in (6 ml) and ⅓ inch (8 ml) thick.

On the cutting board, season the flattened chicken on both sides with the salt.

Add the panko, eggs, and flour to 3 separate shallow bowls.

Coat each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg, then in the panko. Gently press the panko into the chicken to ensure a thick, even coating.

Working in batches, carefully fry the chicken in the hot oil for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Set on paper towels to drain and immediately season lightly with salt.

Make the tonkatsu sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside.

Make the cabbage slaw: In a medium bowl, toss the cabbage, mayonnaise, vinegar, and salt until well coated. Season with additional salt if needed. Set aside.

Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel and microwave for 30 seconds.

Slice the chicken thighs into ⅓-inch (8 ml) thick pieces. Place about half of a thigh worth of meat onto a flour tortilla. Top with about ¼ cup (25 G) of cabbage slaw, a drizzle of tonkatsu sauce, sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro. Repeat with remaining chicken to make 8 tacos total. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Tried this last night and it was great!  Really liked the puff pastry idea.
It was light and held together well as you said.  Thanks Deb,  this will be good for dinner or for a get together snack.

What a clever idea!!!! Can’t wait to try this!!!!

Delicious! Spice level is perfect, and love the puff pastry!

These are great ideas for serving, and it tastes delicious!  Tasty, fun and sassy; thanks for this!

Love sheet pan recipes! Glad you can customize toppings; I love mine without the jalapeños.  Sour cream, onions, avocado, tomatoes for me!

My puff pastry was dry and it burned on the bottom. I thought 20 minutes at 425 was too long.  My puff pastry came in a roll of 10 sheets and didn’t really understand the recipe calling for only one paper thin sheet. No mention of how to treat the pastry to keep it moist. The taco toppings were great but the pastry was a big failure.

I made this last night and it came out perfect!!! Thank you for being so creative!
