Things To Grab

  • 8-quart electric pressure cooker

Directions

  1. Heat canola oil on saute setting of an 8-quart electric pressure cooker. Add 1/4 cup red onions and garlic. Cook and stir for 1 minute or until softened.

  2. Pat pork dry. Sprinkle and rub pork with chili lime rub. Sear pork in pressure cooker in batches until browned all over, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork from pot; set aside. Deglaze pot with beer and orange juice, scraping browned bits from bottom of pot. Return pork to pot. Cover and cook on HIGH pressure for 30 minutes. Once pork has finished cooking, release the valve and allow steam to escape. Carefully remove lid. Transfer pork to a cutting board; cool slightly. Reserve cooking juices.

  3. Combine salsa, pineapple, remaining 1/4 cup red onion, cilantro, oregano, agave nectar, and lime juice in a medium bowl; set aside.

  4. Shred pork into bite-size pieces; transfer to a bowl. Drizzle and toss with enough reserved cooking juices to moisten; discard remaining juices. Serve pork on tortillas topped with pineapple salsa.
