Yum!

We turned this into a carnitas bowl - cooked the meat in the instant pot and then shredded. I was afraid perhaps there wasn't enough liquid to avoid the dreaded burn notice so I added a half cup of beef stock (and then thickened the sauce when finished with a cornstarch slurry). To make the bowls, add rice (we did a half cup), a quarter of the carnitas, and then top with homemade pico de gallo, followed by shredded lettuce, diced avocado, Mexican blend cheese, sour cream, sliced scallions and cilantro. Next time (and there will be a next time), I'll added a drained and rinsed can of black beans to the carnitas once I shred it. We got two meals out of the serving for one. I figure with the addition of the black beans I'd get three meals for two out of this one person portion! Adding corn to the mix would also be good.

Amazing taste and can be ready in 30 minutes!

This meal was so easy to make! Since I was short on time, I did the boil in bag option rather than the slow cooker. I was a bit nervous that it wouldn't be done, but it was tender, juicy, and best of all....ready in 30 minutes! My husband is a picky eater, and adds salt to just about everything. This pork was PERFECT even for him! I bought 2 portions, and had more than enough for us to eat two meals each. I served it in corn tortillas one day, then served it with rice the next day. When it was gone, my husband and son both told me to order more right away. Try it....you won't be sorry!
